Vande Bharats to get a bullet boost

According to two people aware of development, the Centre is mulling an upgradation of its existing semi-high-speed Vande Bharat trains to high-speed status for the next round of its bullet train project.

These trains could be used in future corridors of the bullet train project or even used on the existing railway network, the first person quoted above said on the condition of anonymity.

"Following the success of Vande Bharat, under the 'Make in India' initiative, Indian Railways has now taken up designing and manufacturing of high-speed train sets," the second person cited above said, adding that Integrated Coach Factory (ICF), Chennai, and BEML are collaborating to design and manufacture these train sets, which will have a design speed of 280kmph. Currently, Vande Bharat trains have a maximum speed of 180kmph.
