The Ministry of Railways has invited the bids for designing, and manufacturing of two trainsets, capable of running at 250 km per hour, made of steel. The Indian Railways had written a letter to Integral Coach Factory (ICF), Chennai in June this year to manufacture two standard gauge trainset rakes of eight coaches each. According to the letter the trainset should be made of steel and run at speed of 250 km/ph.

It is going to be faster than the fastest train, Vande Bharat Express which can run at 160 kmph. Indian Railways has set its eyes at giving new travel experience to passengers.

It may be mentioned here that Minister for Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw, recently flagged off India’s first Vande Bharat Sleeper trainset at BEML’s Bangalore rail complex. The train is equipped with a range of world-class features, including an integrated reading light with USB charging provision, public announcement and visual information systems, inside display panels and security cameras, modular pantries, and special berths and toilets for differently-abled passengers. Additionally, the 1st AC car offers showers with hot water, enhancing passenger comfort.
The Indian Railways is making earnest attempt to upgrade its services to the satisfaction of the commuters.
