The sleeper train version of the Vande Bharat is expected to be a significant addition to the chain, providing comfort to the passengers to travel long distances overnight.
The ICF is also developing a new type of Vande Bharat train called the Vande Metro. It will be a 12-coach train, designed for short-distance travel. "Vande Metro will be rolled out by January which will have 12 coaches," Mallya added.
In August, a senior railway official had also told that the first non-air-conditioned (AC) Vande Bharat train is expected to be launched in October. The move aims at offering cheaper travel without compromising on speed or comfort.
