The Indian Railways is extending its locally produced Vande Bharat fleet, which is capable of speeds of 160-180 kmph, throughout important routes. According to railway authorities, this strategy seeks to lessen reliance on traditional long-distance travel by modernizing rail infrastructure, enhancing passenger comfort, and increasing economic connectivity, as per the media reports.

There are currently 164 semi-high speed Vande Bharat chair trains in service throughout the Indian Railways network, with the Vande Bharat sleeper scheduled to debut early next year.

The contract for manufacturing 80 sleeper models has also been given to a consortium made up of Titagarh Rail Systems and BHEL. In addition, ICF is developing its own sleeper model of the Vande Bharat train.
