PM Narendra Modi to flag off Vande Bharat Express trains during MP visit: India is all set to witness the launch of new semi-high-speed trains in the country as Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off five new Vande Bharat trains from Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh during his one-day-long visit to the state on Tuesday, June 27. This is the first such instance when as many as five Vande Bharat Express trains will commence operations on the same day.
The launch will take the total number of Vande Bharat Express trains in the country to 23. The latest trains are aimed at improving connectivity in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Goa, Bihar and Jharkhand.
The five Vande Bharat trains are:
Rani Kamalapati-Jabalpur Vande Bharat Express, Khajuraho-Bhopal-Indore Vande Bharat Express, Madgaon (Goa)-Mumbai Vande Bharat Express, Dharwad-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express, and Hatia-Patna Vande Bharat Express.
New Vande Bharat Train routes
Mumbai-Goa
The Mumbai-Goa route is one of the five new routes to be launched. The launch of the Vande Bharat train on this route was earlier cancelled due to the tragic rail accident in Odisha.
Bengaluru-Hubballi-Dharwad
The Bangalore-Hubballi-Dharwad route is another addition to the Vande Bharat network. This train will facilitate easier and faster connectivity between the two cities while boosting trade and tourism. This is the second Vande Bharat Express train for Karnataka.
