As we approach the close of 2024, I would like to extend my warmest Christmas and New Year wishes to each and every one of you. This year has been a remarkable journey for Urban Infra Group, and it is with immense gratitude and pride that I reflect on our achievements, milestones, and the strong bonds we have built with all of you.
We were privileged to successfully conclude our flagship event, the 4th Urban Business Summit and RailTrans Expo 2024, on October 15th & 16th in New Delhi. With over 1,000 leaders and trade visitors from the railways, transportation, and urban infrastructure sectors across the globe, the event was a significant platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the growth of our industry.
Additionally, 2024 marks a special milestone as Urban Infra Group celebrates its 6th anniversary as a leading media and publishing house. Our publications, Metro Rail Today and Urban Transport News, have touched the hearts and minds of over 25 million readers worldwide. We are incredibly proud of the impact we have made in shaping the discourse on urban transport and infrastructure.
Looking ahead, I am excited to announce that the 5th edition of the Urban Infra Business Summit and RailTrans Expo will be held on June 25th & 26th, 2025, at the iconic Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. This prestigious venue, which hosted the G-20 International Summit in 2023, will play host to thought leaders, policymakers, and industry visionaries. The theme of the event, Viksit Bharat@2047 - Transforming the Future of Rail & Mobility, is closely aligned with Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a developed India and will highlight the future of rail and mobility in our nation. We are deeply grateful for the continued support from our government and industry partners in making this event a success.
In 2024, India also achieved an extraordinary feat in urban mobility, with 993 kilometers of metro rail now operational across 23 cities and an additional 997 kilometers under construction in 28 cities. As India is poised to become the second-largest metro rail network in the world, it is a testament to our country’s vision of sustainable, efficient, and accessible urban transport.
India’s commitment to a Net Zero Emission target by 2070 further exemplifies our collective dedication to a greener, cleaner future for all. As a leading media company, we are proud to be part of this transformative journey toward sustainability.
As we step into 2025, I want to thank you for your continued trust, collaboration, and support. Together, we are building a brighter future for urban infrastructure, transportation, and mobility, creating lasting positive impacts for generations to come.
May the Christmas season bring you peace, joy, and fulfillment, and may the New Year be filled with success, prosperity, and new opportunities.
On behalf of the entire Urban Infra Group, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025!
