India's fastest train, Train 18, will be known as Vande Bharat Express, railway minister Piyush Goyal said on Sunday.
The 16-coach train will run between Delhi and Varanasi at a maximum speed of 160 kmph and will be flagged off by PM Narendra Modi. Goyal said he has sought time from the PM for the launch. The train was manufactured in 18 months at a cost of ₹97 crore by Integral Coach Factory, Chennai. The train received all statutory clearances for commercial operations on Friday.
The fully air-conditioned train will stop at Kanpur and Allahabad and will have two executive chair cars and and 14 non-executive chair cars. The train fare is likely to be higher than what is charged in Shatabdi trains, which will include food as well.
