Fourth Vande Bharat Express Approved for Rajasthan, Connecting Bikaner and Delhi Cantt

August 20, 2025

Rajasthan is set to welcome its fourth Vande Bharat Express, connecting Bikaner to Delhi Cantt via Churu, following formal approval from Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. This new service comes after considerable demand from the region, notably from Union Law Minister and Bikaner MP Arjunram Meghwal, who requested the connection in early August.

The Vande Bharat Express will significantly improve travel between Bikaner and Delhi, reducing the journey time to just 6 hours and 15 minutes compared to the current 7 to 11.5-hour duration on existing trains. The proposed schedule has the train departing Bikaner at 5:45 a.m. and arriving at Delhi Cantt by 11:50 a.m., with the return journey commencing at 4:45 p.m. and reaching Bikaner by 11:00 p.m., covering a total distance of 448 kilometres. The train is expected to halt at Churu, with further details on stop durations and additional stations yet to be confirmed.

Passengers can expect state-of-the-art features, including a self-propelled design with driver cabins at both ends, ensuring a smoother ride with minimal jerks. Enhanced safety measures such as GPS-based real-time tracking, CCTV cameras, vacuum-based bio-toilets, and emergency push buttons are incorporated throughout the train. The coaches offer European-style executive-class seating in vibrant colours and flight-inspired luggage racks with LED lighting, promising increased comfort and convenience.

Equipped with cutting-edge technology and focused on passenger amenities, the new Vande Bharat Express is poised to transform connectivity and travel experience between Bikaner and Delhi. The train is expected to begin service in September, boosting both efficiency and comfort for daily commuters and long-distance travellers alike.
