Indian Railways is gearing up to launch the India’s first Vande Bharat Sleeper train between Patna and New Delhi. The Patna–Delhi Vande Bharat Sleeper will cover the roughly 1,000 km journey in just eight hours, operating at a top speed of 160 kmph.
The trial runs for the Patna–Delhi Vande Bharat Sleeper is almost done and the train is expected to launch before New Year. This initiative underscores Indian Railways’ push toward efficient, comfortable high-speed overnight journeys that balance speed and rest.
The Patna–Delhi Vande Bharat Sleeper will operate six days a week. Featuring 16 coaches with hundreds of berths, it targets relief on one of India’s busiest routes. Indian Railways has yet to confirm exact fares, but they are anticipated to align closely with premium services like the Rajdhani Express.
The sleeper version of Vande Bharat Express is engineered for seamless long-haul overnight journeys, blending high speed, top-tier safety, and exceptional comfort with globally benchmarked design standards. This variant of the Vande Bharat series promises to transform overnight travel for millions of passengers.
