India started making its mark from road to sky... 

When india became independent in 1947, the country's mobility sector was very backward. After the partition, the country's big Karachi port went to the part of Pakistan. air travel facilities were negligible. Even there was a lack of direct trains to go from one part of the country to another. There was no domestic motor vehicle company in the country. Later, india started making its mark from road to sky and took the country's mobility sector to a new level. Let us also tell you how india started making an identity in this sector.

Nationalization of air India

Air india was originally launched by Tata Group founder JRD Tata in 1932 as the country's first air carrier, flying mail between Karachi in then-undivided, British-ruled india and Bombay. In 1953, air india was nationalized and for the next four decades it was a prized possession of the indian government, which controlled most of the country's domestic airspace. After running for 69 years as a government entity, air india was repurchased by the Tata Group on january 27, 2022.

When the Ambassador car became the king of indian roads

The Ambassador car, affectionately called the king of indian Roads, was first introduced on the roads in 1958. Manufactured by Hindustan Motors at its Uttarpara plant near Kolkata, West Bengal, the car was modeled on the british made Morris Oxford Series II. Carmaker Morris Motors, which re-emerged after its dissolution in 1977, successfully targeted the 'middle class' population in india after signing a joint venture agreement with Japanese auto major Suzuki Motor Corporation on october 2, 1982. It launched its first people car, the maruti 800, a 796 cc hatchback, in december 1983 and ruled the indian roads for two decades.

After independence the first port was ready

Kandla Port, now officially known as Deendayal Port Authority in kutch district of Gujarat, was the first port developed soon after independence in 1950 to reduce the volume of trade at the port of Mumbai. The loss of Karachi port to pakistan after partition increased the pressure on mumbai port.
