PM Modi Flags Off Nine Vande Bharat Express
2024 has marked a transformative year for Indian Railways with the unprecedented expansion of the Vande Bharat Express, India’s premier semi-high-speed train. By the end of the year, 136 Vande Bharat services were operational, covering diverse terrains and connecting major cities, industrial hubs, spiritual destinations, and scenic locales.
Over 30 new routes were launched this year alone, significantly reducing travel time and enhancing passenger comfort. Notable additions include:
Vande Bharat Express trains are redefining rail travel in India. With speeds up to 160 km/h, luxurious interiors, reclining seats, advanced infotainment systems, and eco-friendly technologies like energy-efficient engines and onboard waste management, these trains set a new benchmark. The Kavach safety system, which prevents collisions, ensures unparalleled operational security.
From linking industrial zones like Ahmedabad-Rajkot and Tatanagar-Brahmapur to boosting tourism in Jaipur-Udaipur and Mumbai-Goa, Vande Bharat Express is weaving India closer. In the Northeast, Guwahati-Imphal and Guwahati-Agartala routes are fostering regional integration.
The government’s ambitious target to connect all major regions with Vande Bharat services is now within reach. The trains have not just modernized Indian Railways but also reaffirmed the vision of a connected and empowered India.
