Train Speed
The maximum permissible speed of this train is 160 kmph, while the operational speed is 130 kmph, keeping in mind safety concerns. (Vande Bharat Express held a trial run with the train clocking a speed of over 180 kmph but most of the Indian railway tracks are not capable of supporting a speed of 160 kmph and for this reason, most of the Vande Bharat Express trains have a maximum permissible speed which is lower than 160 kmph)
