Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2023 on 1 February. Rs 2.40 lakh crore has been allotted for the Railways in the budget. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav also made big announcements after the budget was presented. He said that after the success of the Vande Bharat Train, now Railways is going to start Vande Metro Train by 2024-25.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said that Vande Metro is coming up with the concept to cover a distance of 50-60 km in the cities. The production and design work will be done this year. There is a plan to start it next year. The Railway Minister informed that Vande Metro will run at a speed of 125 to 130 km. Its design will be on the lines of Mumbai Sub-Urban. However, there will be no toilet facility in Vande Metro.
What will be the specialty of the Vande Metro train?
The Vande Metro train will replace several trains designed in the 1950s and 1960s. The curtain has not yet been removed from its design, but it is believed that the facilities in it will be more or less the same as in Vande Bharat trains. The engine will be completely hydrogen-based. Due to this pollution will be zero.
Like the Vande Bharat train, this train will also have a modern brake system, a Kavach safety system to prevent red signal braking, an automatic door, a fire sensor, GPS, LED screen, which will inform passengers about the next station in advance. The fare of this train will be very low, so that poor and middle-class people can also travel.
The railway minister gave this answer on No waiting in ticket
When will no waiting for the train ticket end? In response to this question, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said, 10 years ago, 4 km of new tracks were made every day. Today 12 km of new tracks are being laid every day. Will take it up to 16km next year. Tried to complete the shortcomings of many decades in 8 years. The demand and supply gap will reduce only by meeting the infrastructure requirement. Only after this something can be said about no waiting.
