PM to flag off Vande Bharat 2 from Gandhinagar to Mumbai on Sept 30
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to flag off an upgraded Vande Bharat 2 train between Gandhinagar and Mumbai on September 30. The upgraded semi-high-speed train will have greater speed, better ride index and a superior braking and regeneration system that will save 15-19 per cent electricity, said Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw Tuesday.
“The first train (of the upgraded Vande Bharat) will run between Gandhinagar and Mumbai. Four days ago, the testing of this train was completed. Now, we will begin serial production of this train,” the minister said during an interaction with mediapersons at the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI).
