India's rail network, the world's fourth-largest, is currently undergoing a $30 billion modernization, with high-speed trains and new stations. However, rail accidents remain common.

In 2023, India witnessed one of the worst rail disasters in history, when three trains collided in Odisha state, killing 288 people and injuring more than 1,000.
