Kerala Vande Bharat Express Train: Indian Railways is continuously working to increase the network of Vande Bharat. Now in this episode, another state is going to get the gift of Vande Bharat. PM Narendra Modi is going to give the gift of Vande Bharat to Kerala today i.e. on 25th April. The 16th Vande Bharat is ready to run on the tracks in the country. This Vande Bharat will run between Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod.
Let me tell you, earlier this Vande Bharat was to be run between Thiruvananthapuram to Kannur, but later it was decided to run it between Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav had given this information to the people on 18 April. According to the Railway Minister, Railways will upgrade the tracks in Kerala in two phases.
Under the first phase, work will be done to convert the entire track from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram to 110 kmph speed capability at a cost of Rs 381 crore. This work will be completed within about one and a half years. At the same time, under the second phase, the speed capacity of the track will be increased to 130 km per hour. It may take two to three and a half years to complete this work.
This Vande Bharat to Kerala will cover a distance of 530 kilometers from Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod. Vande Bharat train will stop at about 11 stations on this route. At the same time, Rs 64,000 is being spent for this entire scheme. Vande Bharat Express is a high speed train in India. This is the country’s first semi high speed train, which has a maximum speed of 160 km/h. This train is completely designed and manufactured in India, in which 80% of the products were made indigenous. These trains are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities.
