Modi highlighted that this was the sixth Vande Bharat Express launched in the past two months, and that in the past, the modernization of the railways had been hindered by selfish and corrupt politics. Large-scale corruption had prevented the railways from developing and had made the selection process non-transparent, he added.
The regular service of the Vande Bharat train will begin on April 13, and it will operate between Ajmer and Delhi Cantonment with stops in Jaipur, Alwar, and Gurgugram.
The fact that it will cover the distance between Delhi Cantonment and Ajmer in five hours and 15 minutes is impressive. Moreover, the Ajmer-Delhi Cantonment Vande Bharat Express is also the world’s first semi-high speed passenger train to operate on high rise overhead electric (OHE) territory, which is a significant achievement.
