India's urban infrastructure is under strain, with cities like Bengaluru and Gurugram facing severe transportation challenges. Investor Rajesh Sawhney argues that metro rail expansion is crucial for survival, advocating for 10,000 km of urban rail in two decades. While Bengaluru’s Namma Metro aims for 220 km by 2030, Gurugram has minimal metro coverage. Sawhney emphasizes developing indigenous metro technology to avoid reliance on imports and suggests India learn from Tokyo’s efficient rail network.
