India’s railway network is set for a major technological leap as Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the development of Vande Bharat 4.0, the next-generation model of the country’s semi-high-speed train series.
Designed to meet both domestic and international standards, the project signifies India’s ambition to become a global hub for rail manufacturing and exports.
The upcoming Vande Bharat 4.0 will feature enhanced engineering, passenger comfort, and sustainability-focused design. The new trainsets are being tailored not only for Indian passengers but also for international markets, highlighting India’s growing capabilities in advanced transport technology.
According to Vaishnaw, the initiative “will combine advanced engineering and passenger comfort features,” aligning with India’s long-term goal of becoming a leader in railway innovation and exports.
In addition to the new train model, the government is planning to build dedicated high-speed passenger corridors similar to Japan’s bullet train system. These corridors, designed for speeds up to 350 kmph, will drastically cut travel time and improve intercity connectivity across major routes. The move demonstrates India’s commitment to modernising its transport infrastructure and making long-distance travel faster, cleaner, and more efficient.
