About Vande Bharat Express

The project to manufacture indigenous semi-high-speed trainsets now called Vande Bharat Express began in mid-2017, and within 18 months, ICF Chennai completed Train18. India’s first semi-high-speed train was renamed Vande Bharat Express in January 2019 to emphasize its made-in-India status. The train achieved a maximum speed of 180 kmph on the Kota-Sawai Madhopur section. The new trainset gets 25 improvements over the previous rakes. 

Vande Bharat Express: Saffron Paint

The upcoming Vande Bharat Express trains will get a new Orange-Dark Grey paint scheme as against the current generation of semi-high speed trains with white-blue livery. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that this Saffron colour is inspired by the ‘Tricolour’. The colour scheme has a larger spread on the train, giving it a more prominent appeal as compared to the current Vande Bharat Express trains, where a blue strip runs at the side of the train.
