Rail bhavan dont know how to operate passenger service.

piejaan it was the first prototype, learning would be applied for the production model, this is first of a kind ie a sleeper trainset which will travel for long distances and that too overnight. first prototypes never enter production, dont expect to see vande bharat sleeper in service this year, the testing will be rigorous, things will be added and subtracted, like this prototype has 2 washrooms, enough for chaircar version but in sleeper subbarao said 3rd washroom will be added and many more improvements. also they are working simultaneously on 20 coach vande bharat sleeper.

so have patience, you will see this in service on ndls mmct or ndls hwh.

Mumbai Ahmedabad is already at 160, but some parts still await kavach installation, most probably within 2-3 months the stretch can operate at 160, but idts railways will allow due to the previous accidents, ndls agra still is capped

Correct. However, I think they will start 160 kmph approvals only from Dec,2025 onwards in bulk, both for Del- Mum and Del - Kolkata. Kavach installation is the biggest roadblock as it takes a lot of time to make it Kavach compliant.
