India seems to be following China with a 15-year lag. The solutions will need to be gigantic, like China. India will need to work simultaneously on airports, highways, ports and high-speed railways.
The world's busiest airports by passenger traffic are measured by total passengers (data from Airports Council International), defined as passengers enplaned plus passengers deplaned plus direct-transit passengers.
Delhi is no 21 on this list at 55 million. It recorded the highest growth rate at 21%
Mumbai was at 44 million and had a growth rate of 10%. That's 5th highest growth rate in the list.
