164 New Vande Bharat Express trains in India are a major move towards the modernization of the passenger transport system of Indian Railways. The trains are semi-fast and completely ‘Make in India,’ a part of the Make in India plan. They are also known as Train18, which was their former name.
Important points regarding the 164 New Vande Bharat Express Trains in India:
- Faster travel: They can go as fast as 160 km/h, reducing travel time between large cities compared to the previous express trains. They use existing lines but are designed to travel faster.
- Safety and comfort: They are equipped with automatic doors, GPS passenger information, bio-vacuum toilets, and large windows. The coaches have sealed gangways that connect the coaches without any gaps.
- Driving technology: The trains use distributed traction, where there are electric motors on several coaches, as opposed to one engine in conventional trains. This makes it possible for the trains to accelerate and brake faster.
- Seating: The coaches have executive class (AC First Class) seating in sets of four, and AC Chair Car seating in sets of six. All seats are reversible so that the passengers face the direction of travel.
Since their inception, various types of New Vande Bharat Express trains in India have been introduced on many busy routes connecting major cities, thereby increasing connectivity for Indian Railways.

2 Vande Bharat Sleeper Trains
2 Vande Bharat Sleeper Trains are going to be the next big thing for Indian Railways. They build on the very popular Vande Bharat train idea by adding real sleeping berths, which is a big deal for long trips. It’s like switching from a quick day train to a nice overnight express.
These aren’t just the regular chair car versions with beds stuck in them in a weird way. The plan is to make special sleeper versions of the Vande Bharat trains. This means they will have modern, air-conditioned coaches that are made just for overnight trips. This usually means they will have the same high-speed features that Vande Bharat trains are known for, which could cut travel times dramatically compared to older mail or express trains.
What’s different about them compared to other AC sleeper trains like the Rajdhani or Duronto? They’re supposed to use the newest Vande Bharat technology, which includes better facilities for passengers. We’re talking about better insulation so it’s not as loud, new gangways (the areas that link up coaches), and maybe things like automatic doors and high-tech passenger information systems that you see on the daytime versions.
The real change is in how the inside is arranged. Although the exact plans aren’t ready yet, it’s thought that they will have different classes, probably First AC, AC 2 Tier, and AC 3 Tier, all designed with modern, nice-looking interiors. The aim is definitely to provide a fast, easy, and high-quality overnight travel experience, making long trips for passengers in India much smoother and more convenient. People are looking forward to these trains because they say they’ll be fast and comfortable overnight.
