The report pointed out that when compared to other countries, the Indian Railways has the most lenient benchmark of measuring punctuality. A train delayed by up to 15 minutes is considered to have been punctual, whereas in countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia and others, the threshold is much stricter. The report said: “Indian Railways, despite investing Rs 2.5 lakh crore on track infrastructure during 2008-19, has failed to improve on the mobility outcomes".
