India’s flagship semi-high-speed train service, the Vande Bharat Express, continues its ambitious expansion with six new trains added to the network. This takes the total count to 144 train services, significantly boosting fast, modern, and efficient rail connectivity across the country.
Vande Bharat Express Expands Again: 6 New Trains to Redefine Indian Rail Travel
These additions are part of the government’s broader vision to modernize Indian Railways and provide world-class infrastructure to commuters. The new Vande Bharat trains are equipped with advanced safety features, automatic doors, bio-vacuum toilets, GPS-based passenger information systems, and comfortable seating arrangements. They offer a seamless travel experience for both short and long-distance passengers.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw reiterated the Centre’s commitment to connecting all major cities with Vande Bharat trains in the near future. He emphasized that these trains are not only a technological achievement but also a symbol of “Aatmanirbhar Bharat”, as they are fully designed and manufactured in India.
The new routes will serve areas with high demand
The new routes will serve areas with high demand and limited access to fast rail options, improving connectivity, tourism, business travel, and economic growth. These routes are strategically selected to bridge regional gaps and reduce travel time by several hours on certain corridors.
The Vande Bharat project has already been lauded for transforming travel with its punctuality, efficiency, and modern amenities. It has become especially popular among youth, business travelers, and families looking for comfort and speed without the cost of flights.
With these six new additions, Indian Railways is not just launching new trains — it is redefining the future of travel in India. As more rakes are rolled out in the coming months, the Vande Bharat Express is expected to become the backbone of premium rail travel in India.
