Dear Transportation Professionals,

Since inception, the Transportation Research Group of India (TRG) has spent over a decade uniting researchers, academicians, engineers, practitioners, and policymakers from India and globally into a vibrant forum for exchanging ideas across transport sectors.

With the Government of India’s unprecedented push on transport infrastructure and cutting-edge technology, the need for focused research and large-scale capacity building has never been greater. In response, TRG remains committed to connecting transportation professionals and building capacity through our committees, events, and training programs, translating research into solutions for India’s infrastructure challenges. To foster innovation and mentorship, we actively engage young researchers through hackathons, doctoral symposia, and industry-academia partnerships that bridge research with real-world implementation.

Our vision is to shape sustainable, intelligent mobility for India through collaborative research and innovation. TRG’s agenda is aligned with the Government of India’s vision and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, providing evidence-based insights, technical guidance, and a strong global network of transportation professionals.

I invite you all in India and worldwide to join TRG as a member and partner in this mission. TRG welcomes diverse membership categories. Your participation in our biennial conferences, workshops, seminars, and webinars, announced on our website, LinkedIn, and Facebook, will strengthen collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

Together, let’s shape the future of India’s transportation sector.

Warm regards,
Prof. Shriniwas Arkatkar
