All necessary preparations for the commencement of the train service have been completed. The minister has promised to launch the second Vande Bharat train in the state by July."
The launch of Vande Bharat Express between Bengaluru and Hubballi – Dhaward has been on cards for a while but it is delayed due to the electrification of downline between both the cities. Hubballi – Dharwad region is an educational hub with various institutions and the Vande Bhart express is expected to bring the ease of connectivity to the capital city. According to a few reports, the Indian Railways is also planning to introduce new Vande Bharat services between Bengaluru – Coimbatore and Bengaluru – Kacheguda (Hyderabad). In November last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched south India’s first Vande Bharat express between Chennai – Mysuru via Bengaluru.
