Indian Railways have been on the rise since the Modi Government has taken over, especially after the implementation of Vande Bharat Express.

Indian high-speed rail Bharat Vande Express, popularly known as Train 18, travels from Delhi, Mumbai, Kerala and few other states. At a peak speed of 180 km/h, it is one of the nation's fastest trains. The train was launched in February 2019 and was constructed by the Chennai, India-based Integral Coach Factory (ICF).

The Bharat Vande Express's design is among its most noticeable characteristics. Compared to conventional trains, the Bharat Vande Express offers a number of benefits. It is superior to the majority of other trains in India in terms of speed, effectiveness, and comfort. Along with less noise and vibration, the train provides a smoother ride. Because of the substantial reduction in travel time between Delhi and Varanasi, it has grown to be a popular choice for travellers.

The Bharat Vande Express is a representation of India's development in the transportation industry. It stands for the nation's dedication to developing a cutting-edge, effective rail network that can rival the best in the world. The Bharat Vande Express's success has motivated the Indian government to invest more in high-speed rail technology and to plan the construction of further high-speed trains soon.
