From asset monetisation to new Vande Bharat trains, key focus areas for Indian Railways in Union Budget 2023

In the Union Budget 2022, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharam focused on the Gati Shakti National Master Plan and it is likely that the same would continue to be a priority of the Government in this year’s budget.

He says, “Budget 2023 ought to make a more concerted effort at attracting private players by offering more commercially viable terms.
