Vande Bharat Express Train Speed: Indian Railways (IR) has transformed the rail travel experience throughout its extensive network with the launch of the Vande Bharat Express. These semi-high-speed trains have operated with full occupancy since their launch in 2019. At the moment, 150 Vande Bharat Express train services, 75 UP and 75 Down, are available nationwide.

Vande Bharat Express Train Speed:
The Vande Bharat trains, created by the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, have greatly improved intercity connectivity while cutting down on travel time. Although their maximum operating speed is 160 kmph, the Vande Bharat Express trains are built to reach a maximum speed of 180 kmph. However, some variables, like as the track’s geometry, halts encountered during travel, section maintenance, etc., affect a train’s speed.

Vande Bharat Express Trains at 130 Kmph:
Overall, 5 Vande Bharat Express trains will be running at 130 kmph. These are:

⦿ Train number 20825/20826 Bilaspur-Nagpur-Bilaspur Vande Bharat Express
⦿ Train number 22347/22348 Howrah-Patna-Howrah Vande Bharat Express
⦿ Train number 22962/22961 Ahmedabad-Mumbai Central-Ahmedabad Vande Bharat Express
⦿ Train number 22303/22304 Howrah-Gaya-Howrah Vande Bharat Express
⦿ Train number 20101/20102 Nagpur-Secunderabad-Nagpur Vande Bharat Express

Additional Information:
In addition to this, some additional Vande Bharat trains also reach 130 kmph, although only on certain sections of their routes rather than the whole trip. For instance, the Prayagraj–Varanasi segment is only allowed to go at 110 kmph, although the Varanasi–New Delhi Vande Bharat Express travels at 130 kmph between New Delhi and Prayagraj. Similarly, the New Delhi–Katra service, India’s second Vande Bharat train, maintains a speed of 130 kmph between New Delhi and Ludhiana but drops to 110 kmph beyond Ludhiana.
