On the one hand, India is densely populated; on the other, around 30 percent of the country is made up of hilly and forested terrain \u2014 urban cable cars are often the ideal solution to overcome such obstacles and enable mobility.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, India lags far behind other countries with its 71 cable car projects \u2014 compared to more than 170 in Japan and over 1,700 in Switzerland, not to mention major cable car nations like the USA and Austria (each with over 2,000), or France (with more than 4,000). But the subcontinent is determined to close the gap.<\/p>\n<h3>Centrally Coordinated Plan<\/h3>\n<p>The implementation of urban cable cars in India has a clear political dimension: at the top is the Ministry of Transport, which coordinates all state investments in the country\u2019s mobility and manages a project pipeline worth 1.4 trillion US dollars. Reporting directly to it is the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).<\/p>\n<p>This agency is one of the world\u2019s largest infrastructure developers and is primarily responsible for India\u2019s highway network. Under its umbrella, the previously mentioned NHLML was established in 2020, focusing on the country\u2019s logistics infrastructure to enhance economic efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>For example, NHLML is expanding India\u2019s fiber-optic network, building multimodal logistics parks, installing roadside infrastructure, and integrating ports into the national transport network.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And last but not least, NHLML is the central agency for implementing cable car projects under the Parvatmala Pariyojana,&#8221;
