Speaking at  a media Summit 2026, Manoj Kumar Dubey , CMD, IRFC, outlined the vision of IRFC 2.0—a transformative journey that is expanding IRFC's role from a dedicated railway financier to a diversified infrastructure financing institution, powering India's next generation of growth through innovative, long-term capital solutions.

From world-class railway infrastructure and faster mobility to the development of high-speed rail corridors and new freight networks, India's ambitions are unprecedented.

With seven proposed high-speed corridors alone expected to require investments of nearly Rs 16 lakh crore, alongside new dedicated freight corridors, innovative and sustainable financing will be central to turning these aspirations into reality.
