Indian Railways will expand Vande Bharat trains on high-demand routes, including Madurai–Bengaluru and Howrah–Rourkela, by adding more coaches to ease overcrowding. Under the plan, 16-coach trains will become 20-coach, while 8-coach trains will double to 16-coach. The move responds to consistently high passenger loads and rising demand. Passengers will benefit from greater seating, reduced congestion, and the same modern amenities, strengthening Vande Bharat’s role in India’s rail modernization drive.
