"New Delhi (CNN) — India's fastest train broke down on its first trip, just a day after being inaugurated by Prime
Minister Narendra Modi.
The Vande Bharat Express was returning to New Delhi from the northern city of Varanasi on Friday before it was
forced to stop at Chamrola Station, located about 120 miles away from the capital.
According to a statement released by India's Railway Ministry on Saturday, there were communication issues between
the last four coaches and the rest of the train due to an "external hit."
The brakes were then applied and the "train was checked for faults and moved to Delhi," the statement continued.
The Vande Bharat Express's initial trip from New Delhi to Varanasi was successful.
The semi high-speed train, produced in the southern city of Chennai, can reach maximum speeds of nearly 100mph
(160km/h).
Its production comes under Modi's ambitious Make in India initiative to transform the country into a global
manufacturing hub.
"This is the true strength of India. This is the strength of the Vande Bharat Express. Friends, in the last four and
a half years, through hard work and honesty, we have tried to change the Indian railways. The Vande Bharat Express
is a glimpse of that work. In the past years, the railways have stayed in a sector, which under Make in India has
made great progress," said Modi as he inaugurated the train on Thursday.
The train can hold 1,128 passengers. Its journey from New Delhi to Varanasi takes eight hours and covers 467 miles.
Other trains currently operating on that route take more than 11 hours to complete the same trip.
The train made its first commercial trip on Sunday with India's Railways Minister Piyush Goyal tweeting that tickets
had been sold out for the next two weeks."
