Public-private partnerships to serve growing industry, shift freight from roads to rail

Hoping to shift more freight off its road and onto rail, India is building a network of rail-based logistics hubs for its growing automotive industry.

Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee laid the foundation for the first hub Nov. 28 in Shalimar, near Kolkata in eastern India.

India plans to build 15 automotive hubs throughout the country.

The Indian government is working on the hubs with the railroads, automotive manufacturers and other investors in public-private partnerships.
