Answers
Answer:
Vande Bharat Express, also known as Train 18,[1] is an Indian higher-speed rail intercity electric multiple unit.[2] It was designed and built by Integral Coach Factory (ICF) at Perambur, Chennai under the Indian government's Make in India initiative over a span of 18 months. The unit cost of the first rake was given as ₹1 billion (US$14 million), though the unit cost is expected to go down with subsequent production.[3] At the original price, it is estimated to be 40% cheaper than a similar train imported from Europe.[4] The train was launched on 15 February 2019,[5] by which date a second unit will have been produced and readied for service.[6] The service was named 'Vande Bharat Express' on 27 January 2019.[7] As of July 2020, the Indian Railways operates two Vande Bharat trains.[8]
