Vande Bharat Express, which runs between New Delhi and Varanasi, is going to be renamed now. Vande Bharat Express will be run as Tejas Express from February 15 to March 31.
In 2019, the first indigenously built semi-high speed train was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a letter dated February 10, Northern Railway stated, The Railway Board has given permission to run the New Delhi-Varanasi-New Delhi Vande Bharat Express (New Delhi-Varanasi Vande Bharat) from February 15 to March 31.
The train will be operated by the Indian Railways only and that there will be a little difference in the fares as the revised fares will be lesser than Vande Bharat Express. The Vande Bharat Express was dedicated to the nation by Modi on February 15, 2019.
