Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off five new Vande Bharat Express trains on Tuesday, June 27, Mint reported citing information from the prime minister's office (PMO). This is the first time that five Vande Bharat trains will begin their service together.

The PMO announced that the five Vande Bharat trains will serve on these routes: Rani Kamalapati-Jabalpur Vande Bharat Express; Khajuraho-Bhopal-Indore Vande Bharat Express; Madgaon (Goa)-Mumbai Vande Bharat Express; Dharwad-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express; and Hatia-Patna Vande Bharat Express.

Rani Kamlapati-Jabalpur Vande Bharat Express service will provide improved connectivity between Jabalpur and the Central Region of Madhya Pradesh. Moreover, this service is expected to provide hassle-free connectivity to tourist attractions such as Bheraghat, Pachmarhi, Satpura, etc. The train will reduce the travelling time by about 30 minutes when compared with the fastest train service available at present.

Khajuraho-Bhopal-Indore Vande Bharat Express will ensure a smoother travelling experience between the Malwa and the Central Region. This train service will serve travellers visiting Mahakaleshwar, Mandu, Maheshwar, Khajuraho, and Panna. This service reduces the existing travel time by about 2 hours and 30 minutes, the PMO statement said.

The train between Madgaon (Goa) and Mumbai will be Goa's first Vande Bharat Express. Operating between Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Goa's Madgaon station, it will save an hour for its passengers.

The Vande Bharat Service between Dharwad and Bengaluru will benefit tourists, students, and industrialists alike. It will connect the cities of Karnataka-Dharwad, Hubbali, and Davangere.

The Hati-Patna Vande Bharat train is the first one to serve the Jharkhand-Bihar region. The train is likely to help tourism, education, and industry in the region while saving around 90 minutes for its passengers.

With the introduction of these five trains into service, the existing network of semi-high-speed Vande Bharat trains will reach 23. These trains are known for their comfort-oriented seating and onboard amenities. The trains offer advanced safety features along with an improved overall experience.
