Heard About Mini Vande Bharat Express? Know Government Plans

Given the popularity of Vande Bharat Express Trains in India, the Modi government may soon introduce a mini version of these semi-high-speed trains. Know details

Internet

We all know that the Vande Bharat Trains are a huge success and are helping and making travel hassle-free for lakhs of passengers. Given the popularity of Vande Bharat Express Trains in India, the Modi government may soon introduce a mini version of these semi-high-speed trains.

Soon, the Indian Railways intends to operate this eight-coach Vande Bharat Express, which will be half the size of the larger Vande Bharat Express.

The 16-coach Vande Bharat Express, which currently runs between major cities and takes about 6-7 hours to complete, will be replaced by a shorter-distance, 4-5-hour variant. The railroads might operate this train in remote areas with low passenger load factors like in Amritsar-Jammu, Kanpur-Jhansi, and Nagpur-Pune.

By March or April 2023, the Indian Railways hopes to launch the first mini-Vande Bharat Express as a pilot. The mini-Vande Bharat Train could be introduced on an all-Indian scale by the Ministry of Railways if the pilot experiment is a success.

With the introduction of the mini-Vande Bharat Express, the Railways would not only be able to serve routes with faster travel times, but they may also try to boost their earnings and generate good revenue. The 8-coach train's layout and design are nearly complete, and the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) is creating a prototype of it.

'Sleeper version' of Vande Bharat Express:

In addition to the miniature Vande Bharat Express, the 'Sleeper version' of the semi-high-speed train will soon be available to passengers. Concerned officials have announced that the Vande Bharat Express would now take the position of the Shatabdi Express, with the sleeper version serving as a substitute for Rajdhani Express trains.

The sleeper version of the Vande Bharat Express, which has been making headlines and drawing passengers since its debut, will be built to run at a speed of 220 kilometers per hour, the authorities stated.
