trains were dedicated to Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh,
where elections are scheduled later this year.

Sources said when the Prime Minister visits Karnataka, it

would make sense to inaugurate a few prestigious projects,
which is why flagging off of the Vande Bharat Express has
been included along with inauguration of T2 of KIA.

says Railway Minister

The newer version of Vande Bharat Express trains can reach

a speed of 100 km/hr in 52 seconds, and run at a maximum
speed of 180 kmph, weighs about 392 tons instead of 430
tons of the older version of the same train, and is reckoned to
be 15% more energy efficient.

The stretch between Mysuru and Bengaluru, which has

nearly 135 curves, is not conducive to trains running at high
speed. ‘’Realignment of the track, and reducing track
curvature will be our next endeavor’”, said Mr. Simha.

Officials are not sure whether the Vande Bharat Express

would be a new service or would replace the existing
Shatabdi Express between Mysure and Chennai.
