Bengaluru in just three hours," a railway official told PTI.

high-speed trains in India:

aerodynamically designed. It includes Kavach technology, a cutting-edge safety
feature.
·Kavach technology is an
indigenously developed system that aids in train collision prevention. It has a
top speed of 160 kms per hour. The bogies are outfitted with fully suspended
traction motors and a cutting-edge suspension system. This improves the
smoothness and safety of the run.

terminating stations. All classes have reclining seats, and executive coaches
also have 180-degree rotating seats.

infotainment to passengers and can be aligned in the direction of travel.
