Transportation contributes to the Economic, Industrial, Social and Cultural developments of any country. The objective of economic activities is the process of satisfying the requirements of any commodity, whether the production - distribution of products or the fulfilling the commodity demand. The Transportation Infrastructure Development in India could be assessed by following points.
A). In terms of Village Connectivity:
While the other modes of transportation available for the major population of India, the road transportation is the nearest to the people. The prosperous growth of country not only depend on the Urban areas alone, but the adequate transport facilities connecting the remotest villages with the nearest district headquarters, commercial and industrial centers.
As per 2011 census, rural areas accounts for 68.84 % of India population, It is estimated that 20-30 percent of the agricultural, horticultural and forest produce gets wasted because of either inadequate rural road network or poor condition of roads, which creates an impedance for transporting such commodities for the user needs.
B). In terms of Network Density: It could be well understood by the figures of existing other modes of transportation that the road network alone has vast network among all other modes which serve majority of its objectives.
Road Network of India: 33 Lacks Kilometer (Including Expressways, NH, SH, MDR, ODR and RR)
Rail Network of India: 66, 030 Kilometer(as on 31st March 2015)
Navigable waterways: 14, 500 Kilometer(Comprising rivers, canals, backwaters, creeks, etc.)
Air Ports: 125 Airports (which include 11 International Airports, 08 Customs Airports, 81 Domestic Airports and 25 Civil Enclaves at Defense Airfields. )
C). In terms of Indian Economy:
The transportation cost is influencing factor on consumer cost for commodities. Reduced transport cost might save resources which results more production. As well as, the cheap commuting cost might give access to better jobs.
With the rapid development of Indian economy in the recent decades, the share of services sector in the GDP has steadily increased from about 38 percent in 1980-81 to about 55 % in 2006-07.14 Within the services sector, the road transport sector is one of the rapidly growing sub-sectors, its share in GDP having gone up from 5.7 % in 1999-2000 to 6.4 percent in 2004-05. A significant fact is that in this growth, the road transport segment alone accounts for the entire incremental share, the other segments like railways, air and water transport segments having just maintained their relative contributions.
