PM Modi had flagged off the Gandhinagar-Mumbai Vande Bharat Express semi-high speed train last month. This indigenously developed train runs between Gandhinagar to Mumbai and is the first Vande Bharat train equipped with ‘Kavach’ technology. It is an automatic safety system that prevents two trains from colliding.
