Namo Bharat

The Namo Bharat is an Indian electric multiple unit (EMU) train built for RapidX (Regional Rapid Transit services).

The tender was finalised for the train to have 50% of the local components as opposed to the original requirement of 75% in line with the Make in India initiative.

[14] The train is designed to have a stainless steel body with an aerodynamic nose cone to reduce the air drag resistance produced while travelling at higher speeds.

There are plans to equip the trainset with Automatic Train Operation (ATO) over Long Term Evolution (LTE) in the future to further increase network performance and capacity.

[14] The Namo Bharat trainset was brought into service when the Delhi Meerut RRTS (RapidX) line was inaugurated on 20 October 2023.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 13 kilometre long Delhi section of the Namo Bharat corridor between Ashok Nagar and Sahibabad on 5th January 2025.
