IRF India Chapter

The activities of IRF in India is not new. Three Regional Conferences were organized in India successfully since 2006 onwards on some of the most topical subjects like "Business & Environment for Future Road Development in India", "Road Safety-Design", "Construction and Operations of Roads" and "Mobility and Safety in Road Transport".
