Vande Bharat Express
In February 2019, India marked a significant milestone in rail technology with the launch of its homegrown semi-high-speed trains. First known as Train 18 during its creation phase, it was later renamed Vande Bharat Express when it was launched. These Vande Bharat Express trains can reach up to 180 km/h, but usually are limited to 130 km/h due to the condition of the tracks. The maximum speed limit can only be hit at certain stages of the journey, which results in lower overall speeds, despite the fast pick-up and slow-down abilities of these trains.
The Fastest Train In India
Vande Bharat trains are India’s fastest trains that are running on the tracks. It is worth noting that the inaugural New Delhi-Varanasi route holds the title for highest average speed at 95 kilometre per hour.
