The Vande Bharat sleeper coaches will be equipped with a number of new features, including wider berths, brighter interiors, spacious toilets, a mini pantry, and advanced safety features. The new trains are expected to be more energy-efficient and environment-friendly than current coaches. 

The introduction of Vande Bharat sleeper coaches is a significant development for the Indian Railways, as it will allow passengers to travel long distances on high-speed trains overnight.

Speed, Safety and Service are believed to be the hallmarks of this train.

Equipped with world-class features, the Vande Bharat Express promises a comfortable journey to passengers. 

The first Vande Bharat Express, between New Delhi and Varanasi, was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 15, 2019. 

Manufactured at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, the train set stands as a symbol of the 'Make-In-India' initiative and showcases India's engineering prowess.

The project to manufacture indigenous semi-high-speed train sets began in mid-2017, and within 18 months, the ICF Chennai completed Train-18.

The country's first semi-high-speed train was named Vande Bharat Express in January 2019. The train achieved a maximum speed of 180 kmph on the Kota-Sawai Madhopur section.
