The railway administration has exciting news for Pune travelers. On December 28, 2024, officials announced four new Vande Bharat Express trains from the city. This expansion will raise Pune’s total count to six Vande Bharat routes, significantly improving speed and comfort for daily passengers.
Currently, Pune is linked by Vande Bharat services to Hubli, Kolhapur, and Mumbai-Solapur. These trains are known for cutting down travel time and offering a smoother ride.
The four new routes will soon connect Pune with Shegaon, Vadodara, Secunderabad, and Belagavi. While launch dates remain under wraps, operations are expected to begin in the near future. These new additions will enhance Pune’s railway connectivity across states.
The move is part of a broader plan to modernize India’s train network and ease regional travel. More Vande Bharat trains mean shorter journeys, improved amenities, and a better overall experience—whether you’re traveling for work or a weekend getaway.
With more frequent services, passengers can also expect reduced rush during peak seasons and holidays.
Prices for Vande Bharat trains depend on the journey and coach selection. For instance:
The Kolhapur train runs three days a week—Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays—making it convenient for short trips.
Fares for the upcoming routes will be announced closer to the start date, likely following similar pricing.
This expansion reflects the Indian Railways’ commitment to faster and more efficient train travel. The Vande Bharat series has already won praise for speed, safety, and comfort.
For Pune residents, this means more destinations with less hassle—ideal for both tourists and business travelers.
Stay updated with official announcements for exact start dates and full schedules.
