The Northern Railways is considering the start of a new Vande Bharat Express service, this time between Chandigarh and Jaipur. The idea of initiating this train route is currently being evaluated, as stated by Ambala Divisional Railway Manager (DRM), Mandeep Singh Bhatia. The Ambala division of the Northern Railway has formally sought permission to operate a Vande Bharat Express train on the Chandigarh-Jaipur railway line, which runs through Delhi.

The department is optimistic that the Railway Board will approve this. Currently, the Ambala division houses three Vande Bharat trains. DRM Mandeep Singh Bhatia said: "The proposal is currently in the deliberation phase. Vande Bharat Express services have gained considerable popularity within the Ambala division, particularly between Chandigarh and Delhi, where occupancy rates vary between 80 per cent and 90 per cent.

Currently, two trains (Garib Rath and Daulatpur Chowk-Sabarmati BG Express) run between Chandigarh and Jaipur. A railway official stressed that the introduction of the new train on the Chandigarh-Jaipur route would not only provide passengers with a new travel experience, but would also lead to a shorter journey time.

He further explained that the journey time and fare for the new service would depend on the route set by the Railway Board. Currently, the Vande Bharat Express operates on two major routes within the Ambala division. One Vande Bharat Express runs between Delhi and Katra via Ambala, while the other connects Amb-Andaura to New Delhi, with a stop in Chandigarh.
