Which type of market structure is the following? Give reason.

Indian railways

संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

The market form for Railways in India is a monopoly. 

Reason:

In India, the government operates and controls railway services through Indian Railways, which is the sole provider of rail transit for passengers and freight. Because no rival enterprises are providing identical railway services, Indian Railways has a monopoly in this industry. The government controls the railway industry's pricing, service provision, and infrastructure.
