Railways plans to roll out Vande Metro, trial runs to begin in July

After the huge success of semi-high speed Vande Bharat trains, the Indian Railways is planning to launch the country's first Vande Metro to transform the intra-city transportation system, said a senior official closely associated with the project.

"All preparations are going on to start its trial run from July 2024 so that its services can be offered to people as soon as possible," the official said.

Based on the latest technology to acquire high acceleration and deceleration which will help it cover more stoppages in less time, Vande Metro will have several new features keeping in mind the travel needs of the city dwellers.
