Delhi-Bikaner Vande Bharat Express: Indian Railways is gearing up to roll out a new Vande Bharat Express service connecting Delhi and Bikaner. The announcement comes as part of the government’s continued push to enhance semi-high-speed rail connectivity across the country, with Rajasthan being a key beneficiary. Currently, 150 Vande Bharat Express services are operational nationwide, with passenger demand consistently exceeding expectations.

The decision followed a request by the Union Minister of State for Law and Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, who met with Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and urged the introduction of this route. Responding to the demand, Vaishnaw confirmed that the Delhi-Bikaner Vande Bharat Express will be launched soon.
