A few weeks ago Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had visited the coach factory and images of him inspecting the under construction new orange theme Vande Bharat Express had been shared.
Times of India Online now brings you exclusive images of the now ready orange Vande Bharat Express which has been rolled out today by ICF on its test tracks. Vande Bharat Express in its white and blue hues has become the image of Indian Railways’ makeover.

Now ICF is experimenting with a new color theme, and only one rake of the orange gray Vande Bharat will be manufactured to begin with.

While the exterior has a new color, no changes have been made to the interiors of the Vande Bharat Express. The new batch of Vande Bharat Express trains already have 25 new improvements, and these have been included in the orange gray train as well.
