Chennai, Apr 2:
A new Vande Bharat Express service between Chennai and New Delhi is expected to significantly reduce travel time to just 24 hours, marking a major leap in long-distance rail connectivity.
The proposed service is set to transform travel on one of India’s busiest corridors by offering faster transit, modern amenities, and enhanced passenger comfort.
Currently, trains on this route take considerably longer, making the introduction of a high-speed option a game-changer for both business and leisure travellers.
Designed with advanced features, the Vande Bharat Express is expected to provide comfortable seating, improved onboard services, better safety systems, and reduced journey fatigue, making it an attractive alternative to both conventional rail services and short-haul flights.
Railway officials believe the new service will strengthen connectivity between southern and northern India, boosting economic activity, tourism, and intercity mobility.
The train is also expected to benefit frequent travellers, professionals, and families seeking a faster and more convenient mode of transport.
Once operational, this Chennai–New Delhi Vande Bharat route will stand out as one of the longest and fastest premium train services in the country, reflecting Indian Railways’ push towards modernisation and high-speed travel infrastructure.
