Detailed Solution

India has the second-largest road network in the world, aggregating about 62.16 lakh km.
Regarding total length, India's road networks rank second worldwide (2020–21). Roadways were built in India before railroads. Given their simplicity in development and maintenance, they still have an advantage over trains. Road construction costs are significantly lower than rail lines and can travel over relatively more uneven terrain. Road transportation is cost-effective for moving fewer people and a smaller volume of goods over longer distances.
