Vande Bharat trains with 20 coaches will run on these 7 routes. It will be easy for passengers to get tickets

The Railway Board has decided to increase the number of coaches in some Vande Bharat trains, thereby providing more seats for passengers. Until now, some trains have been running with 8 coaches, and some with 16 coaches.

Indian Railways has given good news to its passengers. Actually, Vande Bharat trains, renowned for their speed and facilities, will now provide even greater relief to passengers. Actually, the Railway Board did a study on the popularity and occupancy of Vande Bharat trains for the financial year 2025-26 (till 31 July 2025). It came to light that people like these high-speed trains very much. On the rail routes where these trains are running, the seats are always full and the number of passengers is increasing continuously. In such a situation, the Railways has decided to increase the number of coaches in many Vande Bharat trains.

What is the new plan of Railways?

The Railway Board has decided that by increasing the number of coaches in some Vande Bharat trains, more seats will be provided to the passengers. Till now, some trains were running with 8 coaches and some with 16 coaches. Now the Railways has decided to increase the number of coaches in three trains from 16 to 20 and four trains from 8 to 16. This change will not only provide more seats to the passengers, but will also make ticket booking easier.
