This chapter discusses the potential risks faced by metro rail projects in India when their ridership projections fail and highlights the need for alternative transportation methods like auto-rickshaws.
In August 2023, an independent think-tank in India called The Infravision Foundation got together with a couple of professors from IIT Delhi and published a whitepaper. It pointed out issues with India’s metro rail network. No one paid much attention to it initially. But then, UK-based publication The Economist picked it up last week. And suddenly, the government of India felt the need to provide a rebuttal.
