India has a history of more than 150 years of Indian Railways.. India is one of the largest carriers of passengers still India lagged in the latest Technology until 2014 until 1st Vande Bharat Express was launched in the country…m which is now being spread all over the country.
With a vision for the future after the formation of the Government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led Government’s first thought on the TOT of semi- high speed rail connecting cities, and bids for train manufacturing have been called for.
In 2016, Spain’s Talgo trains performed trial run in Delhi- Mumbai route, because of various reasons, like the cost, maximum speed the project was called off. Later the then Integral coach factory general manager Sudhanshu Mani took the proposal to manufacture indigenous semi-high speed rail for the central government.
Within a duration of 18 months, the two trainsets were manufactured in 2018 and were named as “Train 18”, Train -18 was officially inaugurated on 15th February 2019 and was renamed as “Vande Bharat Express” in the Delhi- Varanasi route, connecting metropolis with a spiritual centre. The regenerative brakes used in these trains saved 30% of electricity costs. with success of VB, the railway board approved for production of 45 new VB train sets by 2022, With COVID-19 pandemic, entering into the picture the annual production capacity didn’t pick up the pace and got delayed.
With 4 years on from induction, from Trian 18- VB 4.0, India’s first semi-highspeed rail, home grown rolling stock from concept, design, engineering, manufacturing, validation, testing and execution was indigenously performed.
Under Atmanirbhar Bharat, Make in India Initiative, India is on the path of becoming Vishwa guru in the Amrit Kaal with the foresight of PM Narendra Modi and with a hope to export our Vande Bharat technology to other needy nations in the near future.
