India To Get Bullet Train Speeding Past 250 Kmph Soon - Vande Bharat Platform
India is preparing to launch its own bullet train capable of reaching speeds of 250 kilometers per hour (kmph), according to a senior government official.
This train is expected to outperform all existing trains on the Indian Railways network. Furthermore, the high-speed train, which is now in development, is being built on the Vande Bharat platform, which is known for reaching a top speed of 220 kmph, according to an official speaking with ET. Furthermore, it is now being built at the Indian Railways' Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, with ideas taking shape quickly.
In the worldwide arena, high-speed trains, like the French TGV and the Japanese Shinkansen, are recognized for their ability to cruise at speeds exceeding 250 kmph, as stated by
India's transition to high-speed rail has not been without international backing. While Japanese technology-driven bullet trains are now being built to operate the Mumbai-Ahmedabad line, India is taking steps to become self-sufficient in this area. The Shinkansen E5 series trains, intended for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route, can reach speeds of up to 320 kmph.
According to the official, the emphasis is not only on speed, but also efficiency. The new Vande Bharat trains would speed from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 52 seconds, two seconds faster than existing bullet trains.
