The dual transformations of India’s huge urban and transport infrastructures are essential and interlinked cornerstones of the nation’s rapidly growing economy.  As such, India’s ambitious series of mega plans in support of the ‘Viksit Bharat’ vision, to enable quicker, cheaper, and more sustainable connectivity across significantly expanded road, rail, maritime and aviation networks, as well as to greatly increase the living standards of an urban population expected to grow to 800 million over the next three decades, will prove to be decisive factors for India achieving the status of a high-income, developed economy by 2047, as well as becoming a world-leading hub for smart city, grid and mobility solutions. 

The Transport & Infrastructure India Summit has been established to serve as India’s dedicated annual platform for facilitating  an unprecedented nation-wide evolution towards delivering smart, green and sustainable ‘circular’ cities with affordable modern housing and services, and a world-class, next generation transport infrastructure capable of unlocking the huge potential of India’s logistics industry, supercharging the economy, removing barriers to trade and reducing urban pollution and carbon emissions.

The Summit will convene policymakers, leading players from across the construction, infrastructure, travel and logistics industries, global investors and advanced technology innovators for essential discussions, high-level knowledge exchange and initiating impactful new cross-sector partnerships. 

The Summit agenda will focus on the strategic alignment of India’s far-reaching social and economic 2047 vision with the financing and delivery of an urban living renaissance, and a modern interconnected national transport infrastructure, incorporating core transformational elements such as end-to-end digitalisation, last-mile connectivity, grid electrification, reliable energy storage, charging stations, sustainable power sources and more.
