Vande Bharat Express , also known as Train 18, is an Indian semihigh speed intercity electric multiple unit.It was designed and built by Integral Coach Factory (ICF) at Perambur, Chennai under the Indian government's Make in India initiative over a span of 18 months. The unit cost of the first rake was given as ₹100 crore (US$14 million), though the unit cost is expected to go down with subsequent production. At the original price, it is estimated to be 40% cheaper than a similar train imported from Europe. The train was launched on 15 February 2019,by which date a second unit will have been produced and readied for service. The service was named 'Vande Bharat Express' on 27 January 2019.
The train flagged off for an inaugural run by Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, on 15 February 2019, with its commercial run started from 17 February 2019 onwards. It will be running on the Delhi-Varanasi route, via Kanpur and Allahabad, connecting the Prime minister's Lok Sabha seat Varanasi to the Capital city, reducing travel time along the route by 15 percent. The train's regenerative brakes are also expected to allow a 30% savings in electricity costs as compared to its predecessor. At an operating speed of 160 kilo metres per hour (99 mph), it will outpace the Shatabdi Express by 30 kilometres per hour (19 mph).Although the trainset has been tested for speeds up to 180 km/h, operational speed has been capped at 130 km/h as an internal report by Indian Railways indicated that just 0.3% of the company's track is capable of supporting speeds of that magnitude. Every other car on the train is motorised.[9] The 8 hour journey from New Delhi to Varanasi station has the Chair Car CC Class fare of ₹1,755.00 and covers the total distance of about 775 kilometers.
