The Vande Bharat Express, formerly known as Train 18, is an electric multiple-unit train operated by Indian Railways. The train has achieved a max speed of 180 km/h (110 mph) during testing. Due to the railway track speed capacity and traffic constraints, the operating speed of the train is limited to 160 km/h (99 mph) on the Delhi-Bhopal route and 110–130 km/h (68-81 mph) on other routes due to safety concerns
