Vande Bharat Express, the country's first un-engineered 16-coach, has been built by Indian engineers in record time of 18 months. The cost of 97 crores has been made and this is made by the Integrated Coach Factory, Chennai. Vande will replace the 30-year-old Shatabdi Express. According to official sources, the travel fare of this train will be on the lines of Tejas train. The base fare will be 1.4 times more than other superfast trains. The IRCTC was instructed to prepare a menu of food in the train. However, due to lack of separate place to keep food in this train, IRCTC has already filed objection. Name of the semi-high speed train-18 has now been kept 'Vande Bhaiya Express'. Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said that the train running between Delhi-Varanasi will also be held at Kanpur and Allahabad railway station.
