After the presentation of the Union Budget 2023, the Finance Ministry has cleared up a major chunk of funds for the development of Vande Bharat trains connecting different parts of the country, making travel smoother and more comfortable for many.

The Centre is set to develop Vande Bharat Express trains connecting far-off parts of the country, with a major connectivity hub in the capital city of Delhi. In the few Vande Bharat trains that run in India, several of them are to and from Delhi.

As of now, there are a total of eight Vande Bharat Express trains running in India, while the Centre has plans to scale up this project by launching 300 to 400 new Vande Bharat routes in the near future. Three of the eight Vande Bharat routes are to and from Delhi.

The first Vande Bharat Express train which started running the full route was Delhi-Varanasi Vande Bharat Express, which covered the complete distance in around eight hours. The Vande Bharat route also had stops in Kanpur and Prayagraj.
