Ashwini Vaishnaw Flags Off 3 New Amrit Bharat Trains From Bihar: Check Route, Timing, Expected Fare, Other Details

New Amrit Bharat Trains For Bihar: Ahead of the state assembly polls, Bihar has got yet another gift from the Indian Railways. Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw inaugurated seven new train services from Bihar, including three Amrit Bharat Express trains aimed at providing affordable long-distance travel options for lower and middle-income passengers. 

Developed by Indian Railways, the Amrit Bharat Express has become a symbol of modernization in the country’s railway system. The train is not just a fast and affordable travel option, but it also comes equipped with advanced features such as semi-automatic couplers, fire detection systems, sealed gangways, and talk-back units. For the first time, advanced technology has been introduced in non-AC coaches as well for passenger safety.

New Amrit Bharat Routes

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday virtually flagged off new train services from New Delhi, while Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary conducted a symbolic inauguration at Patna Junction.

The newly launched Amrit Bharat Express trains will connect Darbhanga–Madar (Ajmer), Muzaffarpur–Charlapalli (Hyderabad), and Chhapra–Anand Vihar (Delhi). Alongside, four new passenger trains have been introduced on shorter regional routes within Bihar: Jhajha–Danapur, Patna–Buxar, Nawada–Patna, and Patna–Islampur.

The Amrit Bharat Express—positioned as a more affordable counterpart to the premium Vande Bharat trains—represents the Centre’s broader push to modernise rail services while keeping them accessible to millions of everyday travellers.
