The Indore-Bhopal Vande Bharat train, which is currently operational, will be extended to reach Nagpur via Itarsi. This expansion fulfils a long-standing demand from Nagpur residents for a direct connection to Bhopal through the Vande Bharat Express. According to the Railway Board's announcement, Train No 20911 will be rebranded as the Indore-Nagpur Vande Bharat Express. This train will include stops at Ujjain, Bhopal and Itarsi on its journey to Nagpur.
The Vande Bharat Express, India's first semi-high-speed train, is renowned for its opulent amenities and a comfortable travelling experience. It boasts a top speed of 160 km/h, which allows it to cover the distance between Nagpur and Bhopal in just 8 hours and 20 minutes.
