The above chart represent the share of various modes of cargo/freight transportation within India.
The share of rail freight has come down to 27% which is not a good sign for the overall efficiency of economy. At the time of Independence, the share of rail in cargo transportation. was more than 60%. Railway freight share has been replaced by Road which is costly also and is more environmentally polluting.
Since last few years, Govt. is aggressively modernizing the rail infrastructure which may improve the share of rail freight.
