India faces a severe infrastructure problem. For example, a standard container can sail from Singapore to Mumbai in 4-5 days, but that same container will take 2 weeks to travel to New Delhi at a cost three times of its sea voyage from Singapore. The main problem is railways, the backbone of India's transportation infrastructure. The system moved 7 billion passengers and 830 million tons of cargo last year, but slow expansion and modernization are severely crimping India's economy, as
this online video demonstrates.
