The NorthEast Frontier Railway Zone (NFR) is playing a transformative role in expanding modern rail connectivity in the northeastern part of India through the introduction of Vande Bharat Express trains. These services bring semi-high-speed rail to a region marked by diverse terrains and logistical challenges, improving travel efficiency and reducing dependence on long, difficult road journeys. By integrating faster and more comfortable trains, NFR is helping bridge long-standing gaps in passenger infrastructure across the Northeast.
These Vande Bharat trains operate on strategic routes connecting major cities like Guwahati, New Jalpaiguri, and Patna, efficiently linking the states of Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, and surrounding regions. They support both interstate and intercity travel, making them a reliable option for daily commuters, long-distance travelers, and tourists visiting the Northeast. These services contribute to socio-economic development by improving access to cultural, administrative, and trade hubs across the zone.
Each train under this zone runs with a unique train number, consistent timing, pre-defined halts, and regular weekly frequency. These services not only improve the speed and comfort of travel but also strengthen regional integration. Below is the complete list of active Vande Bharat Express trains operated by the NorthEast Frontier Railway Zone, including details on routes, schedules, coach types, fare structures, and essential station information to help travelers plan their journey seamlessly.
