It is the first such train to be launched in the southern part of India by Indian Railways. The first train was launched in 2019 on the New Delhi-Kanpur-Allahabad-Varanasi route.
Manufactured entirely in India, Vande Bharat Express is a semi-high-speed train that can travel at a speed of 160km/h, but in reality, the train is operated at a speed of 130km/h.
At present, 4 such trains are being operated in India across prominent routes.
New Delhi – Varanasi Vande Bharat Express
New Delhi – Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra Vande Bharat Express
Mumbai Central – Gandhinagar Capital Vande Bharat Express
New Delhi – Amb Andaura Vande Bharat Express.
Southern Railway took to Twitter to share a glimpse of the train’s rake and its exquisite exteriors manufactured by Chennai’s Integral Coach Factory.

However, in the past, the nose part of the intercity train suffered minor damage when it hit the cattle on different occasions.
While many are appreciating the Indian Railways for introducing the trains, a few are expressing their disappointment over the build quality.

Carbon fiber material.
If #VandeBharatTrain's engine accident with animal, then more damage to engine. Not more to animal. Save any animals. @narendramodi @RailMinIndia https://t.co/hEpgeOMOqF
