Exciting news for commuters! The Nagpur-Pune route is poised to receive a significant upgrade with the potential introduction of brand-new Vande Bharat Sleeper trains. Additionally, there is a proposal to introduce Nagpur-Mumbai sleeper Vande Bharati as well. In a move to enhance passenger experience, the Nagpur Railway Division has formally submitted a proposal to the Indian Railway Board, paving the way for a major boost in rail connectivity.

Vinayak Garg, Divisional Railway Manager (DRM), Central Railway, Nagpur Division informed in a press conference that discussions are underway to introduce new services. Highlighting Nagpur’s importance in the railway network, he stated, “The Nagpur division is driving growth in the passenger railway sector, with over 125 trains operating from Nagpur station daily. Additionally, we anticipate the launch of the Vande Bharat Sleeper train from Nagpur in the near future.”

The Nagpur-Pune and Nagpur-Mumbai rail routes are witnessing a surge in passenger traffic, with a significant number of commuters relying on trains for their daily travel. However, the existing train frequency falls short of meeting the demand, resulting in a scarcity of available seats. Consequently, many passengers are forced to opt for road travel, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient. The introduction of Vande Bharat trains is expected to bridge this gap, providing much-needed relief to passengers and enhancing their overall travel experience.

The Vande Bharat trains are known for state-of-art facilities and safety. Passengers get one of its kind traveling experiences involving less travel time. Since, Nagpur Pune route is experiencing a steady surge in passenger numbers daily. Encouraged by this trend, Nagpur Railways has submitted a request for Vande Bharat Sleeper trains to cater to the growing demand and provide enhanced travel experiences for commuters.
