Indian Railways has successfully completed the final high-speed safety trial of the indigenously developed Vande Bharat Sleeper Train, a major step toward its launch. The trial, supervised by the Commissioner of Railway Safety, was conducted on the Kota–Nagda section, where the train reached 180 kmph and met all safety parameters.
