Critical mission areas would, among others, include technology, development of human capital and a culture of innovation. This has been elaborated in some detail in Chapter-VI. 5.2 Needless to mention, adequate resources must be found to implement and attain the ambitious goals set out above. This has been dealt with at some length in Chapter VII. 5.3 Broad areas of capacity enhancement and modernization to achieve the above goals along with a very rough and tentative assessment of the magnitude of investment needed are shown in Annexure-II in terms of Short-term (2010-2011 - 2011-2012) and Long-term (2012-2013 - 2019-2020) plans. The operational strategy to translate the vision into action has been spelt out in Annexure-III. FIVE CRITICAL FACTORS THAT WILL HELP ATTAIN THE VISION The vision is based on a high-growth and high market-share strategy for freight, passenger and parcels. Growth will be achieved through highly satisfied customers. The shortage syndrome will be consigned to history. This will critically hinge on the following:- 1. Capacity bottlenecks must not constrain growth. Adequate investments will be directed towards building capacity through network expansion, doubling/quadrupling gauge-conversion, speed-raising, last-mile connectivity and traffic facility works. 25

Efficient project execution to ensure efficient utilization of resources and completion of projects within targeted time and cost would hold the key. 4. Near- total level of safety, efficient utilization of assets and infallible levels of reliability of the system benchmarked to the best in the world through predictive and diagnostic tools and highly trained and motivated employees. IT tools would be used to enhance customer satisfaction, maximize productivity of assets and improve governance. 26
