Writing in Live Mint, BCG’s Yashi Tandon, Nitima Malhotra, and Rajat Modwel explain how the growing population of India’s National Capital Region (NCR) puts a strain on infrastructure and worsens environmental problems. The NCR is the largest single contributor to India’s GDP. As it expands economically, a comprehensive mobility plan is needed to ensure sustainable development. “Growth centers like the NCR must expand their focus beyond intra-city transport systems and encompass neighboring cities with which they have a symbiotic relationship,” note the authors.
