Luxurious and affordable to common man. Connects different cities and countries. Technological advancement.

Weakness
Corruption within the department.
Lack of accident proof magnetic wheels in all trains. Lack of safety.

Poor infrastructure.
Delayed trains. Non pro-active employees.

Opportunities
Metro in a commercial city like Mumbai.
Mono-Rail project Mumbai. Development in small cities. Profit through privatization.

Threats

Future railways will be having magnetic system which

will substitute wheels .

Sleepers will b made up of plastics and other waste

recyclable material which we throw out.

The railways, has decided to manufacture low-cost

stainless steel coaches. Or carbon fiber.

 To reduce fuel consumption efficient engines will be

used as they would be able to run of very cheaper rate and with sustainability.

To reduce d trafic problem the technology invented

from honeybee would be used so that every railway will b able to run on their own an without disturbing the time of another railway.
