 Vande Bharat Express Trains in India: Full List of 108 Routes, Schedules, Speeds, Durations, and More




The Vande Bharat Express trains represent a major achievement in India’s rail network, being both high-speed and indigenously developed. These automated train units are designed to offer a fast, comfortable, and convenient travel experience, complete with advanced passenger amenities. With a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour, the Vande Bharat Express runs on an extensive broad gauge electrified network, reflecting India’s dedication to enhancing regional connectivity. As per Indian Railways, approximately 31.84 lakh passengers traveled on Vande Bharat trains during the 2022-23 financial year, with an impressive overall occupancy rate of 96.62%.


States that have received at least one Vande Bharat Express train include Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, West Bengal, and Assam. However, most Northeastern states—Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura—are yet to benefit from these semi-high-speed trains introduced by Indian Railways.


On September 1, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw unveiled India’s first Vande Bharat Sleeper trainset at BEML’s Bangalore rail complex. Designed and manufactured by BEML, this trainset marks a significant advancement in long-distance rail travel in India. The Vande Bharat Sleeper trainset is poised to redefine comfort, safety, and efficiency, featuring premium amenities such as integrated reading lights with USB charging ports, public announcement and visual information systems, interior display panels, and security cameras. It also includes modular pantries, dedicated berths and toilets for differently-abled passengers, and hot water showers in the 1st AC car, offering a superior travel experience.
