Howrah to Puri Vande Bharat Express route and date of commencement of service of the Vande Bharat Express train is yet to be received officially, the official said. "We have received a Vande Bharat rake from the ICF, Perumbur, and a trial run is being held today on the Howrah-Puri route," he said.

This would be the second Vande Bharat express train that West Bengal will get, with the first running on the Howrah-New Jalpaiguri route since December 30, 2022. With pilgrims and tourists flocking to Puri, the abode of Lord Jagannath, throughout the year from the West Bengal capital, the new semi-high-speed train is likely to be an instant hit among the visitors, travel operators said.
