The Vande Bharat Express, popularly known as Train 18, is an Indian Railways semi-high-speed, electric multiple-unit train. The government-owned Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai developed and produced it.
The train service was renamed the Vande Bharat Express on January 27, 2019, to honour the fact that the train was wholly made in India and could travel lengths ranging from 500 to 750 kilometres.
It was created with the goal of low-cost maintenance and cost-cutting in mind. It became live on February 15, 2019.
