A Leap Ahead in Train Timing and Speed

One of the biggest advantages of the Vande Bharat Express is its train timing. It drastically reduces train time between major cities, thanks to its semi-high-speed design. Capable of running up to 180 km/h, the train cuts down hours from traditional journey durations.

Passengers no longer need to compromise between speed and comfort—Vande Bharat delivers both. If you're planning a trip, you can easily check its exact train schedule on RailMitra, synced in real-time with NTES (National Train Enquiry System).

  • Fully air-conditioned coaches
  • Automatic doors and sensor-based lighting

Passengers also appreciate the cleanliness—each journey begins with sparkling clean coaches and regular maintenance during stops. A clean, hygienic travel experience is something every passenger values.
