Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday flagged off the Gandhinagar-Mumbai Vande Bharat Express, the third such train of the Centre’s flagship railway project, calling the combination of the train and Ahmedabad Metro, also launched today, a pillar to Gujarat’s economic success.

“This train will bring Ahmedabad and Mumbai closer, which are two of India’s biggest cities. Ordinary express trains take 7-8 hours between the two cities, and even the faster Shatabdi trains take 6-7 hours sometimes. Vande Bharat will take a maximum of five and a half hours for the transit,” Modi said at the inauguration event. .
