Recently, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that in the next three to four years, railway tracks will be upgraded to support the maximum speed of 160 kmph of Vande Bharat trains.

As Vande Bharat train network continues to grow across the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi have recently launched two new services of the train. The first one has been flagged off between Delhi-Dehradun and second between Guwahati in Assam to New Jalpaiguri in West Bengal. With these two fresh launches, Uttarakhand and Northeast have got their first Vande Bharat train.

Equipped with state-of-the-art amenities for passengers, the first such train for Uttarakhand reduces the journey time between state capital Dehradun and the national capital to four and a half hours from the six hours and 10 minutes it took the Dehradun-New Delhi Railway Station Shatabdi Express.
