The National Urban Transport Policy of India 2014 seeks to provide sustainable mobility and accessibility to all citizens to jobs, education, social services, and recreation at affordable cost and within reasonable time.
The Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India (MoUD), originally issued the National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) in 2006 with the aim of enhancing urban transport services and infrastructure, focusing on people rather than vehicles.
In 2014, a comprehensive review of NUTP was conducted by the Institute of Urban Transport (India) (IUT), supported by the Shakti Foundation, incorporating recommendations from working groups, international practices, and feedback from city officials.
The review led to the inclusion of 10 new policy provisions in the revised NUTP 2014, addressing issues like lack of user-friendliness, coordination mechanisms, and trained manpower.
This revised policy was validated by urban transport experts through a national workshop and a roundtable discussion, resulting in a more user-friendly and implementable NUTP.
The Policy was retrieved from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), and it was approved in March 2014 by the preceding Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD).
