The National Statistics Office (NSO) under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) released the key indicators from the first-ever National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), conducted from July 2025 to June 2026. The survey covered 14,274 villages and 10,377 urban blocks, gathering data from 4,92,023 households. It aims to generate insights into domestic travel patterns to support regional transport planning, infrastructure development, and policy formulation. Key findings show that two-wheelers are the predominant transport mode for 42.6% of workers commuting to fixed workplaces, while buses (55.8%) and railways (17.7%) account for most overnight journeys. The survey also reports that 83.4% of workers and 87.6% of students reach their destinations within 30 minutes, and details average monthly commuting expenditures across rural and urban demographics.
