Recently, the Ministry of Roads, Transport and Highways announced plans to centralize all transportation systems —roadways, railways, airways, waterways, and ropeways—into single hubs and terminals across India to streamline and enhance passenger convenience.

• These terminals will serve as a one-stop solution for connecting various modes of transport, catering to 87% of passenger traffic that moves via roads in the country.
  • It will reduce urban congestion and improve economic activity through the creation of city centres.
  • It will also facilitate easy transfers between different modes of transport. 
• Two pilot hubs will be developed in Katra and Tirupati, along with another two in Varanasi and Nagpur through National Highways Logistics Management (NHLM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the NHAI.
  • NHLM is responsible for spearheading pivotal initiatives aimed at improving transport logistics, infrastructure, and asset monetization.
