The first Vande Metro train is expected to begin operations soon, with full-scale production of the fleet commencing within 18 months.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced the launch of a Vande Metro train service between Indore and Ujjain, ahead of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela in 2028. This initiative aims to enhance transportation for devotees and improve connectivity between the two cities. The decision follows the completion of a feasibility survey and discussions with the Union railway minister on incorporating advanced technology and high-speed operations.
India has introduced its first Vande Metro train, a shorter-distance version of the Vande Bharat Express, designed to transform intra-city transportation. The Vande Metro will cater to urban commuters traveling distances up to 250 km, connecting major cities across the country. The Railway Ministry plans to roll out Vande Metro trains on routes such as Chennai-Tirupati, Bhubaneswar-Balasore, Agra-Mathura, Delhi-Rewari, and Lucknow-Kanpur. These trains will feature automatic doors, spacious seating, and advanced amenities not currently available on existing metro trains.
