He has shared many pictures of the new Vande Bharat on his Twitter handle. In the new look, the Vande Bharat will see a colour combination of saffron, white and black. Currently, the colour of this semi-high-speed train is blue and white. The Railway Minister had reached the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai.

In the second week of October 2022, ICF achieved the distinction of rolling over 70,000 coaches since its inception in 1955, the most by any passenger coach manufacturer in the world.
