Gujarat BJP Chief CR Paatil on Tuesday expressed gratitude towards Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw as Vande Bharat Express train will now halt at Vapi station. This will benefit Gujaratis and also lead to ease of business.
Vande Bharat train has 1,123 seats, including 104 seats in the executive chair car and 1,019 seats in the chair car. Of these seats, all 104 seats in the executive chair car and 982 seats in the chair car were booked. The train was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Gandhinagar on October 1.
Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said, “The country will have 400 Vande Bharat trains in the future and 100 of these trains will be manufactured in the coach factory at Latur in Marathwada. The necessary changes in the factory are already being made”.
More than 96% of seats of the Vande Bharat Express were booked during its first commercial run between Mumbai and Gandhinagar stations.
For the Mumbai Central-Gandhinagar journey, a chair car ticket will cost ₹1,440 and an executive chair car ticket will cost ₹2,650. The difference in the fare for two journeys was due to catering charges.
