Indian Railways has announced an exciting plan to transform its services over the next five years. They aim to launch more than 1,000 new passenger trains by 2030, which will improve travel experiences across the country.
Among the key developments, the government plans to add 200 Vande Bharat sleeper trains to the network. They expect most of these to start running in the coming years, making long-distance travel more comfortable for passengers.
For those traveling shorter distances, 200 to 300 chair car Vande Bharat trains will also be introduced. This means more options for everyone, including general and unreserved passengers, who often seek affordable travel.
The Amrit Bharat train program is already in motion, aiming to have between 600 and 1,000 Amrit Bharat trains operational soon. Furthermore, existing train manufacturing units are being upgraded to keep up with the demand for new trains.
This expansion will not only give passengers more choices but also enhance the overall quality of travel. As of now, around 150 Vande Bharat Express trains are already in service, and more are expected to launch shortly.
