Privatisation of trains win-win for Railways, investors: NITI Aayog CEO

NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has said that the privatisation of trains will create a "win-win situation" for the Railways and investors by tapping into the potential of "unmet demand in passenger business". The government's plan to offer private players to operate 109 pairs of routes through 151 modern trains is the "first-of-its-kind initiative" in India, he added.
