Amrit Bharat Express is the upcoming semi-high-speed train in India. It is inspired by the famous Vande Bharat Express Train but is quite different in facilities and ticket prices.
Indian railway plays one of the most very important roles in the Indian transportation system. The growth of the Indian Railway is quite slow after Independence as compared to the road network and aviation industry. However, the Indian Railway has made many innovations like Shatabadi Express, Duranto Express, Gatiman Express, RapidX and Vande Bharat Express to increase the speed of trains. Gatiman Express and Vande Bharat Express have opened many opportunities to increase the speed of Indian trains. Indian Railway is also currently working on the Mumbai Ahmedabad bullet train, which will be India’s first high-speed train line.
What is Amrit Bharat Express?
Amrit Bharat Express has taken inspiration from the fastest train in the country, Vande Bharat Express.
