Rail Transportation - A Better AlternativeThe overdependence on road transport has contributed to many grievances within the country. The over congestion of roads, pilferage of cargo, and environmental costs are a few impacts implicitly borne by customer and producers alike. In addition, time and cost can be significant and unregulated. Statistics report that road transport accounts for as high as 60 of all products that move. On an average, a vehicle on Indian roads loses 24 to 48 hours complying with paperwork and formalities at different check posts. Fuel worth 2.5 billion dollars is wasted on account of trucks waiting at check posts every year. Arshiya Rail will take transportation off the road, clearing up congested roads, providing unprecedented efficiencies. In addition, Rail Transport emits a fraction of CO2 compared to what is emitted via Road Transportation, reducing our carbon footprint.
