Features of Vande Bharat Metro

The specialty of this train will be that it will reach the speed of 100 kmph in less time than the current Vande Bharat, i.e. its pick-up time has been reduced further. The current Vande Bharat Express takes 52 seconds to reach the speed of 100 kmph from zero, but the Vande Bharat Metro has been designed in such a way that it reaches the speed of 100 kmph from zero in 45 to 47 seconds. But its maximum speed has been kept lower than the current Vande Bharat Express. Currently its speed is 180 kmph but the speed of Vande Bharat Metro is 130 kmph. Since the stations of Vande Bharat Metro will be close to each other, there will be no need to maintain a very high speed.
