The Vande Bharat Express is a high-performance, electric multiple-unit train operated by Indian Railways. It was designed by RDSO and manufactured by the government-owned Integral Coach Factory, located in Chennai. It is considered a semi-high-speed train, which is the second fastest train in India.
A few days ago, Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw visited the production site of the Vande Bharat sleeper train and said that it would be on track in two months. The manufacturing process is in its final stage.
To facilitate the travel of participants of the 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat' program, railways will grant 50 percent concession in basic fares of second/sleeper class to youngsters with earnings/emoluments of not more than Rs 5,000 per month, a statement from the ministry said. The concession has been granted as a special case only for normal train services and is not admissible in special trains or coaches, it said.
