Detailed explanation-1: -Vande Bharat Express has a maximum commercial speed of 160 km/h (99 mph). It exceeded 180 km/h (110 mph) during testing, but its tracks are not capable of supporting such high speeds; thus, the train is operated at a maximum speed of 130 km/h (81 mph). Chennai–Mysuru is even slower but is planned to be increased.
