Vande Metro and Vande Bharat Sleeper trains

The manifesto promised Vande Metro and Vande Bharat Sleeper train connectivity in coordination with the central government. PIB confirms that Madhya Pradesh has five pairs of Vande Bharat Express and four pairs of Amrit Bharat Express trains, and that additional Vande Bharat Express, Amrit Bharat Express and new trains would be introduced. PM India also records the national introduction of Vande Bharat Sleeper trains. However, approved-source evidence found in this pass does not show Vande Metro services in Madhya Pradesh or a Madhya Pradesh-specific Vande Bharat Sleeper service. Existing Vande Bharat Express services are adjacent but do not fulfil the specific sleeper and metro promise. The verdict is pending because the exact promised services remain unverified. Budget: no MP-specific allocation or utilisation figure for Vande Metro or Vande Bharat Sleeper service was found.
