Only The Times of India reports this: no contrast yet

None of the other outlets we follow has reported this story, so there are no versions to compare. If others publish it or data appear that test it, it will move to the comparison.

The Vande Bharat sleeper train has a 16-coach configuration, comprising 11 AC three-tier coaches, four AC two-tier coaches and one AC First Class coach. Designed for operations at speeds of up to 160 kmph, the train has a maximum testing speed of 180 kmph, placing it in the semi-high-speed category. However, much of the Indian Railways network currently lacks the infrastructure needed to support train operations at these speeds
