In a bid to run semi-high speed trains on the major rail routes of the Indian Railways, the government is mulling to make 40 new sets of Vande Bharat Express train over the next two years. Vande Bharat Express train runs at 160 kms/hour speed, which allows commuters to reach its destination much faster than any other train. Currently, the Indian Railways has stopped construction of new Vande Bharat coaches and its set of rakes. So, if the Modi Government decides to make 40 new sets of Vande Bharat Express trains, then the Indian Railways will have to lift this manufacturing stoppage on Vande Bharat Express.
