Vande Bharat Express, an upscale rail service, may soon be available in Rajasthan. News outlets have speculated that a Vande Bharat Express train service linking New Delhi and Jaipur could be introduced by Indian Railways in the near future. Time spent in transit between New Delhi and Jaipur might be cut in half, from the current four hours required by the other express trains running the route.

The most recent addition to the fleet of eight Vande Bharat Express trains currently plying the nation’s rails is the Secunderabad-Visakhapatnam line, which serves as a link between the two Telegu-speaking states. The other Vande Bharat Express routes in operation include New Delhi–Varanasi, New Delhi–Katra, Gandhinagar Capital–Mumbai, New Delhi–Amb Andaura, Chennai–Mysuru, Bilaspur–Nagpur, and Howrah–New Jalpaiguri.
Vaishnaw, the minister of railways, remarked “The Vande Bharat is an excellent locomotive. It can go from zero to one hundred kilometres in fifty-two seconds, when most trains in the world take between fifty-four and sixty. Vande Bharat’s designs are superior than those of any aeroplane. For a relaxing trip, this is the way to go.”

PM Modi, speaking during the launch of the Secunderabad-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat Express, noted that the seven Vande Bharat trains now in operation have travelled a combined 23 lakh kilometres, or the equivalent of 58 circumnavigations of the Earth. To date, more over 40 million people have ridden the Vande Bharat trains.
The Vande Bharat Express has seating for 1,128 people among its 14 AC Chair Car Coaches and 2 Executive AC Chair Car Coaches. It’ll be the quickest way to travel between the two stations, and passengers may reserve seats in advance. The train is built using domestic technology and boasts a number of convenient and sophisticated amenities. With its automatic sliding doors and reclining seats (and rotating chairs in executive class), this plane ticks all the right boxes.
The Vande Bharat Express features a train set that was designed entirely in India, along with cutting-edge comforts for its riders. There will be a speedier, more comfortable, and more convenient rail travel experience, according to the railways.
