Vande Bharat Express trains now operational on 15 routes in India. See full list
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday dedicated 16th Vande Bharat Express train to the nation. He virtually flagged off Odisha’s first semi-high speed train connecting the holy city of Puri to West Bengal’s Howrah.
During the inauguration ceremony, he said, “The Vande Bharat Express is a symbol of modern and aspirational India. India’s speed and progress can be seen whenever a Vande Bharat Train runs from one place to another. This pace can now be witnessed in the states of Odisha and West Bengal”.
“This is the time of Amrit Kaal — a time to further strengthen the unity of India. The more India’s unity is strengthened, the more its collective capacity will increase. These Vande Bharat trains are also a reflection of this spirit,” he added.
