Vande Bharat Express (File)
New Delhi: Vande Bharat Express, the flagship train of Indian Railways, is India's first semi-high-speed, locomotive-less train, known for its modern amenities and faster travel times. It operates on electrified tracks and can reach speeds of 160 km/h (99 mph), though it typically runs at 130 km/h. However, for the last two years, the train has been running at an average speed of around 83 kmph due to poor track conditions while having a permissible top speed of 130 kmph for commercial services, an RTI reply has revealed. The RTI, filed by Madhya Pradesh-based Chandra Shekhar Gaur, said the average speed of the Vande Bharat Express was 84.48 kmph in 2021-22 and 81.38 kmph in 2022-23.
The Vande Bharat train features a distributed power system, meaning engines are integrated into each coach, and is equipped with amenities like Wi-Fi, GPS-based passenger information, and CCTVs. It was designed by the Research Designs and Standards Organisation and manufactured by the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai.
