Since the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region has made major strides in modernizing its infrastructure.

The region has built a 240,000-kilometer comprehensive transport network, 24,000 km of 500 kV transmission lines, more than 7,400 km of oil and gas pipelines, and a total water supply capacity of 23.86 billion cubic meters.

Urban underground "four-category" pipelines now extend 119,000 km, while optical fiber lines reach 2.10 million km. Computing power has grown to 218,000 petaflops, with intelligent computing capacity among the strongest in the country.

Railway service now reaches 92.4 percent of all banners and counties, and the east–central–west expressway corridors are fully connected. It also forms the "four horizontal, six vertical" 500 kV grid backbone in western Inner Mongolia and the "seven horizontal, one vertical" grid in the east. Tap water coverage in rural and pastoral areas has risen to 85.1 percent, and all administrative villages have broadband access.

High-speed rail now serves 80 percent of the region's cities with populations above 500,000. The region has 51 outbound expressways and Class I expressway corridors, while feeder airports connect 12 leagues and cities. Jurisdictions at the township level and above enjoy full 4G, 5G, and gigabit fiber coverage, and postal delivery services cover all administrative villages.

Seven cities have been linked to the national high-speed rail network. About 95.6 percent of townships are connected by Class III or higher roads. Inner Mongolia operates 483 air routes to 116 cities, and has built 21 prefecture-level and 44 county-level express logistics parks.

Annual coal rail transport capacity exceeds 1.45 billion metric tons, while outbound electricity transmission and energy-storage capacity remain the highest in China. More than 80 percent of levees meet national standards, and over 6,500 key locations now have robust mobile network coverage.

Transport hubs have further improved multimodal efficiency, with annual freight volumes exceeding 1.5 million tons. Rail branch lines serve 85.1 percent of industrial and logistics facilities, strengthening the region's integrated logistics capabilities.
