Prime Minister Narendra Modi will ceremonially launch four new Vande Bharat Express trains on November 8, 2025, and thus the total number of these semi high speed train services in India will reach 164. Through this initiative, the government demonstrates its serious commitment to improving the country’s rail infrastructure and cutting down the timings on major routes. The new rolling stock, manufactured in the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai, is a clear indication of India’s ambitions to modernize its railway network and make travelling easier and more pleasant.

The four Vande Bharat train services will connect Banaras to Khajuraho, Lucknow to Saharanpur, Firozpur to Delhi, and Ernakulam to Bengaluru. Each route will cater to a particular demand for connectivity. For example, the service about Banaras to Khajuraho will not only link places of culture and faith but will also beat the other special trains by almost 2 hours and 40 minutes in terms of the trip duration. The Lucknow to Saharanpur train will cater to the area with a network of many stations in central and western Uttar Pradesh, thus bringing the travel time down by around an hour and providing a more fluid connection to the Haridwar corridor through Roorkee.
