New Delhi, March 18 -- Indian Railways has attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth nearly USD 942 million over the past 11 years, even as the government continues to significantly scale up public spending and global collaborations to modernise infrastructure, enhance safety and expand capacity across the network.
Replying to multiple questions in the Lok Sabha, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said 100 per cent FDI is permitted under the automatic route in key railway infrastructure segments, including high-speed corridors, freight lines, rolling stock manufacturing, electrification and signalling systems.
