Programme Overview
08:30 – 09:30 hrs | Registration & Networking Tea
09:30 – 10:15 hrs | Inaugural and Keynote Addresses
Theme: Urban Mobility in India: Bridging the Gap Between Infrastructure Expansion and Mobility Outcomes
Despite record infrastructure investment, India’s mobility outcomes—congestion, emissions, commute times, and access—continue to lag. This inaugural session sets the stage by examining why.
