In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Make in India’, the Indian Railways in 2019 launched the country’s first indigenous semi-high speed train – Vande Bharat Express. These ultra-modern trains, equipped with a train collision avoidance system — KAVACH — and Wi-Fi services on demand, are one of the best examples of ‘Make in India’ success stories.
These blue and white color trains can run at a speed of 160-180 kmph. At present, there are eight Vande Bharat Express train plying on different routes : New Delhi-Varanasi, New Delhi – Shri Vaishno Devi Mata Katra, Gandhinagar Capital – Ahmedabad – Mumbai Central, Amb Andaura – New Delhi, Mysuru – Puratchi Thalaivar Dr MGR Chennai Central, Nagpur – Bilaspur, Howrah – New Jalpaiguri, and Secunderabad – Visakhapatnam.
