On December 12, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched India’s sixth Vande Bharat Express between Bilaspur (Chattisgarh) and Nagpur (Maharashtra). PM Modi led the train out of Nagpur railway station, accompanied by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari.
The Vande Bharat Express has travel classes similar to the Shatabdi Train but with better facilities. It can reach a top speed of 160 kmph. It aims to provide passengers with an entirely new travel experience.
Vande Bharat Express is India’s first semi-highspeed train with first-rate passenger amenities. It can reach high speeds due to faster acceleration and deceleration, and it will cut travel time by 25% to 45 percent.
Vande Bilaspur-Nagpur Bharat Express provides two types of seats: AC Chair Car and Executive Chair Car. The AC chair car costs $1,240, while the Executive Chair Car costs $2,240.
