Vande Bharat Express 2.0 inaugurated on Mumbai-Ahmedabad route, Image Gallery - IN PICS

The third Vande Bharat Express for India was recently launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It runs between the state capitals of Gujarat and Maharashtra. The third semi-high-speed railway in the nation, the Mumbai-Gandhinagar Vande Bharat, will significantly shorten the overall distance travelled. However, the inaugural Vande Bharat Express, which made stops in Kanpur and Allahabad along the way between Delhi and Varanasi, was officially launched on February 15. A total of 75 such trains will be implemented in the nation, according to PM Modi's statement on Independence Day last year, to connect various regions of the country.
