In the year 2019, India's fastest train Vande Bharat Express was started. Before this train, Delhi Bhopal Shatabdi Express was considered to be the fastest train in India. The maximum speed of the Vande Bharat train is up to 160 mph. The arrival of this train has provided a lot of convenience to the people. Now people do not take much time to reach the big cities of the country. With the help of Vande Bharat, this distance is now covered in a very short time.

At present, all the Vande Bharat trains running in the country are chaircars. Sleeper coaches have not been installed in any of them. But now soon in India you will see Vande Bharat Sleeper Train running on the tracks. Recently, the prototype of this train has been shared by the Railway Minister in Bangalore. How much is the total cost of making the Vande Bharat Sleeper Train, let us tell you.

So many crores spent on one coach
Generally, if we talk about the price of the coach or the train. So it costs a maximum of 3 crore rupees. If we talk about it, one crore rupees are spent to make a general class coach. Whereas, a sleeper coach costs 1.25 crore rupees. So, after this, if we talk about the cost of an AC coach, then the government spends 2.8 to 3 crore rupees. The figures we have told are of any normal train. If we talk about the Vande Bharat Sleeper Train.

So Vande Bharat Sleeper Train is such a train. It is completely indigenous. The cost of one of its coaches is 8 to 9 crore rupees. Because its interior is different from other trains and the facilities available in it are also quite different from normal trains. That is why three times more money has been spent on making its coach than the AC coach of a normal train. Let us tell you that this is an estimated cost. The money can also increase or decrease in this.

The whole train is more than 120 crores
Where we told you about the cost of the Vande Bharat Train coach. So it is three times the price of coaches of normal trains. If we talk about the engine, it is also very expensive. While the engine of a normal train costs 18 to 20 crore rupees, the Vande Bharat Sleeper train is more expensive than this. If we talk about the total cost of Vande Bharat train, it is around 120 crore rupees. However, let us tell you that this is the estimate for the Vande Bharat Express Chair Car.
