Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat Express trains are considered to be faster

There are more comfortable options...

On Saturday Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Ayodhya, to launch multiple mega-projects for the country, including eight new trains. Out of these eight trains, six are Vande Bharat Express and two are Amrit Bharat trains.

A total of eight new trains will be flagged off by PM Modi today. While some of these trains will be flagged off from Ayodhya, others will be launched by the prime minister remotely through video conferencing.

While the Vande Bharat Express train is currently active on multiple routes across India, Amrit Bharat is an all-new train being inducted into the Indian Railways keeping in mind the comforts and travel needs of the common man.

Amrit Bharat trains will be non-air conditioned with second class unreserved coaches and sleeper coaches. These trains will run on a push-pull technology with 130 kmph speed potential. They will have a 6000 WAP5 locomotive attached on each side.

Meanwhile, the Vande Bharat Express is an AC chair car train, being self propelled with a speed potential of 160 kmph. Here's a look at the eight new trains PM Modi will be launching today, as well as their routes.

Both Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat Express trains are considered to be faster and more comfortable options to the older trains already running on these routes.

Apart from the new trains, PM Modi will also be inaugurating the new Ayodhya airport and train station ahead of the reopening of Ram Mandir in the city.
