Indian Railways Key Updates After Budget 2025
- They will make 350 modern trains: 100 Amrit Bharat, 50 Namo Bharat, and 200 new Vande Bharat trains.
- These trains will have both sleeping cars and chair cars.
- Additionally, 17,500 basic train coaches will be made (non-AC sleeper and general class).
- This will help more people travel by train, especially those who can’t afford expensive tickets.
- The whole project will take 2-3 years to complete.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw says these new trains and coaches will make train travel better across India. He further announced that for every 3 non-AC coaches, 2 will be manufactured and for every 3 AC coaches, 1 will be manufactured. A new program has started to make more general coaches available across India.
Major Railway Highlights For 2025-26
Railways has received Rs 2.52 lakh crore in the new budget. The government plans to spend Rs 4.6 lakh crore on new projects over the next 4-5 years. These include new rail lines, station upgrades, and 1,000 new flyovers and underpasses across India.

“I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
