The ministry posted on social media that 68 Vande Bharat trains are already running. Now Indian Railways is selecting technology partners for the indigenous construction of energy-efficient Vande Bharat trains.
400 new Vande Bharat trains
Indian Railways will develop and manufacture 400 new generation Vande Bharat trains in the next three years. These trains will not only be energy efficient but will also provide a more comfortable experience to the passengers. Currently, 68 Vande Bharat Express trains are running in 15 zones.

Future plans
Work is underway to implement Kavach for 3,000 km on railways’ high-priority routes such as Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah. Tenders have been invited for Kavach deployment on about 15,000 km of track. Apart from this, a plan has been finalised to install this technology in 10,000 locomotives.
The dream of self-reliant India and modern railways
The aim of these projects is not only to modernise the railways but also to establish India as a self-reliant and developed country. This change will not only make the Indian Railways energy-efficient but will also make it more secure and provide a world-class experience to the passengers.
