The Ministry of Railways has increased the number of coaches in the Vande Bharat Express running between Jodhpur and Delhi due to rising passenger demand.
Jodhpur-Delhi Vande Bharat Express
The train, which earlier operated with 8 coaches, will now run with 20 coaches so that more passengers can travel comfortably and get better seat availability.

Railways stated that the number of passengers using the train has been increasing steadily.
