Modernisation of Indian Railways (IR) across country is a continuous & ongoing process subject to operational requirement, safety/security requirement, technical feasibility, commercial viability, resource availability, etc. and aims at improving safety/security, capacity, speed, operational efficiency, passenger comfort, environmental sustainability & adoption/development of advanced technologies.
Semi-High Speed Train system: Indian Railways (IR) is focussed on providing affordable, good quality services to all sections of society. With a view to improve travel experience of the passengers, Indian Railways have introduced indigenously designed and manufactured Vande Bharat (Sleeper & Chair Car), Amrit Bharat, Namo Bharat Rapid Rail services with modern coaches, advanced safety features and passenger amenities.
A. Vande Bharat train services (Chair Car): After the launch of 1st semi-high speed train service on 15 February 2019 on the New Delhi-Kanpur-Prayagraj-Varanasi corridor, Vande Bharat (VB) services have expanded rapidly across the national rail network and now, 162 VB train services are operating at present.
Indigenously designed and manufactured Vande Bharat trains with modern coaches, advanced safety features and passenger amenities have been introduced. These trains have the following features:
At present, 81 pairs Vande Bharat train services (Chair Car) are being operated on the Indian Railways network, as listed below:-
B. Vande Bharat train services (Sleeper): For long distance travel the Sleeper variant of Vande Bharat Express has been indigenously designed and developed. Two such trains have already been manufactured and after extensive trials, these trains have been introduced on Indian Railways. The first Vande Bharat Sleeper service viz. 27575/27576 Howrah - Kamakhya Vande Bharat Sleeper Express has commenced regular operation w.e.f. 22.01.2026.
To improve travel experience of the passengers and set new benchmarks in terms of safe and comfortable journey, these train sets have been provided with modern coaches having advanced safety features and passenger amenities like:
The Vande Bharat trains reflect IR's strategic shift towards modern, efficient, and passenger-centric rail services, supported by continuous infrastructure upgradation and indigenous manufacturing capability. Through the expansion of new-generation trainsets, diversified variants, and improved onboard services, Vande Bharat is strengthening regional connectivity and improving the quality of inter-city travel. These trains underscore the role of rail infrastructure as a critical enabler of economic integration, sustainable mobility, and inclusive national development.
C. Namo Bharat Rapid Rail service: Namo Bharat Rapid Rail has been introduced to enhance the travelling experience of suburban and regional commuters for inter-city short distance movement by harnessing the features of Vande Bharat Trains. The prominent features of Namo Bharat Rapid Rail are as follows:
At present, 02 pairs of Namo Bharat Rapid Rail services are being operated on the Indian Railways network, as listed below:-
D. Amrit Bharat train services: To provide affordable means of transportation to the low and middle income families, Indian Railways have introduced Amrit Bharat services that are fully non-AC modern trains. The present composition of Amrit Bharat consists of 11 General Class coaches, 8 Sleeper Class coaches, 01 Pantry Car and 02 Luggage cum Divyangjan coaches. High Speed and enhanced Safety standards are the hallmarks of these trains with following enhanced features and amenities:
As present, the following 36 pairs of Amrit Bharat Express services are being operated on the Indian Railways network:
E. Hydrogen train: As a step towards developing new technology, Indian Railways' first hydrogen train "NaMo Green Rail" has been launched on 17.07.2026 to demonstrate the use of hydrogen powered train technology in Railways. It establishes the commitment of Indian Railways towards alternative energy-powered train travel.
This project involved designing from first stages, prototype manufacturing and first-time development of hydrogen traction technology in Indian Railways. Prominent features of Hydrogen Train-set are as below:
High Speed Train System: Presently, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR) Project (508 km) is under execution. The Project is passing through the States of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli with 12 stations planned at Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Billimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad and Sabarmati.
Entire land (1389.5 Ha.) for MAHSR project has been acquired. All Statutory Clearances have been obtained. All 1651 utilities have been shifted. The delay in land acquisition in the State of Maharashtra has impacted the project till 2021. The land acquisition picked up in 2022 in Maharashtra.
The progress of various major items so far is as under:
The progress of stations is given below:-
The progress on the River Bridges is as under:-
The work of the under-sea tunnel (approximately 21 km) has commenced, out of which 4.8 km of tunnel between Ghansoli and Shilphata in Maharashtra has been completed.
On the Surat-Vapi section (97 km) entire civil works including river bridge construction, have been completed and 86% of the track bed has been laid.
Further, to strengthen national transport infrastructure, provide a fillip to regional connectivity, economic growth, tourism, investment and employment generation, and encourage modal shift from road and air transport to rail, the Government has announced the development of the following seven new High-Speed Rail (HSR) corridors in the Union Budget 2026-27: -
i) Mumbai - Pune
ii) Pune - Hyderabad
iii) Hyderabad - Bengaluru
iv) Hyderabad - Chennai
v) Chennai - Bengaluru
vi) Delhi - Varanasi
vii) Varanasi - Siliguri
Being highly capital intensive, the decision to sanction any HSR Corridor/ Project depends on many factors such as outcome of DPR, techno-economic feasibility studies and availability of resources such as financing options etc.
However, Bullet train project is a very complex and technology intensive Project. Exact timelines for the completion of the entire project can be reasonably ascertained after the completion of all associated works of Civil Structures, Track, Electrical, Signaling & Telecommunication and supply of Trainsets.

Further, as a step toward modernization of railway across country, some major technologies deployed/piloted over IR are as follows:
1. Machine Vision Inspection System (MVIS): MVIS is an Artificial Intelligence (AI)/ Machine Learning (ML) based system which generates alert on detecting any hanging, loose or missing components of moving trains.
2. Wheel Impact Load Detector (WILD): WILD is a way-side inspection system that measures the impact of wheel on track to identify the defective wheel in Rolling Stock.
3. Integrated Track Monitoring Systems (ITMS): ITMS are deployed for comprehensive inspection and monitoring of Railway tracks. The ITMS utilizes machine learning and image processing to monitor and detect defects in railway track components such as rails, sleepers, and fastenings. The data from ITMS is analysed for urgent and planned maintenance of track. Presently four (04) ITMS are deployed for track recording and monitoring of IR track.
4. Modernisation and improvement of Signalling infrastructure: IR is continuously modernizing current infrastructure of its signalling system as under:
5. Modernisation and improvement of track infrastructure: The following measures are being taken by IR to upgrade railway tracks:
6. Amrit Bharat Stations: Amrit Bharat Station Scheme has been launched for redevelopment of stations with a long-term approach. The scheme involves preparation of master plans and their implementation in phases to improve the stations of Indian Railways. The master planning, keeping in view the necessity of each station, includes:
The scheme also envisages sustainable and environment friendly solutions etc. as per necessity, phasing and feasibility and creation of city centre at the station in the long term.
So far, 1340 stations have been identified for development under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, out of which following 261 stations have been completed:
