The new AC Sleeper Coaches for Vande Bharat will be used on medium and long distances.
Mumbai will be one of the few cities in the country that will maintain the next generation air-conditioned (AC) Sleeper Vande Bharat semi-high speed trains. Earlier this week, the railway board identified Wadi Bunder on the Central line and Mumbai Central on the Western line for its maintenance. The manufacturing will happen at the newly minted Marathwada Rail Coach Factory, Latur, and Integral Coach Factory, Chennai. The speed limit of these trains will be 160 kmph, although they would be tested at 180 kmph.
