The Vande Bharat Express is completely air-conditioned train with premium service for Indian passengers. The train has the look of a bullet train with an aerodynamic conical shaped driver cabin. The train also includes a cattle guard to avoid collision or derailment of the train due to cattle.

The train has executive car seats built for European-style comfort. The seats can also be rotated 360 degrees for an exclusive experience. The snacks table on the train is foldable to increase moving space between their seats and the table for the passengers. The gangways inside the train are completely sealed to allow easier movement between cars and a dust-free environment.

The windows of the train are continuous to facilitate a panoramic view, the windows are also strong enough to withstand stone-pelting and hence is safer for the passengers.

Vande Bharat Express’ washrooms have enough space to wheel in a wheelchair, the toilets itself are modular bio-toilets.

The train has been installed with several CCTV cameras and includes an emergency talk-back system. The doors are centrally operated and work on motion-sensors, thus ensuring the doors to open only when it arrives at stations.
