Another Vande Bharat Express train is all set to make a grand entry. The new Jodhpur-Sabarmati Vande Bharat Express will be both Rajasthan’s and Gujarat’s second. On July 7, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to inaugurate the second semi-high-speed train for the western state. Given that it will take six hours and ten minutes to travel from Rajasthan to Gujarat, it will improve connectivity between those two states.

Up until now, the quickest trains took almost eight hours to go between Jodhpur and Sabarmati. PM Modi will officially launch the Vande Bharat train on Friday, and commercial trips will begin on Sunday.
The new train will leave from Jodhpur’s Bhagat ki Kothi station, and it will take 6.5 hours to travel the 446 kilometres to Sabarmati. The train will halt at stops like Falna, Palanpur Junction, Pali Marwar, Abu Road, and Mahesana Junction. Between Jodhpur in Rajasthan and Sabarmati in Gujarat, the train will connect these significant cities and advance their socioeconomic growth.
