Vande Bharat’s advance tech
The Vande Bharat Express showcases a significant advancement in India’s railway technology, boasting world-class passenger services and the ability to achieve high speeds through efficient acceleration and deceleration.
With journey time reductions ranging from 25 to 45 percent, it promises enhanced travel experiences for passengers.
The semi-high speed train can attain speeds of up to 160 kmph, offering travel classes akin to the Shatabdi Train but with superior facilities. The inaugural journey of the Vande Bharat Express took place on February 15, 2019.
Impact on Northeast
As India witnesses the transformative impact of the Vande Bharat Express, its arrival holds particular significance for Northeast India. The region, historically challenged by connectivity issues, benefits significantly from the improved travel times and enhanced passenger experience offered by the Vande Bharat service.
