印度铁道部长：印度计划三到四年内开始整车出口「万达巴拉特」列车
印度铁道部长 Ashwini Vaishnaw 11月1日在班加罗尔为新开通的「万达巴拉特」卧铺列车揭幕时表示，印度计划在三到四年内开始向海外整车出口「万达巴拉特」（Vande Bharat）列车。他说，印度生产的推进系统、转向架等列车部件已经出口到瑞士、德国、法国、意大利和美国等国。
出口整车需要先研制符合各国铁路规格的标准轨距版本，印度国营的 RITES 公司正牵头做出口版的设计开发。据印度铁道部今年3月向议会提供的数字，从2016至2017财年到2026年1月，印度的铁路车辆与部件出口额约为2,600亿卢比。
「万达巴拉特」是印度国产的半高速列车系列。11月1日开通的班加罗尔至孟买卧铺列车全程1,118公里、运行约16小时，列车共16节车厢、823个铺位，是印度第三条投入运营的「万达巴拉特」卧铺线路。

India's Railway Minister: India Plans to Begin Exporting Complete Vande Bharat Trains Within Three to Four Years
India's Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said in Bengaluru on November 1, while flagging off a new Vande Bharat sleeper train, that India plans to begin exporting complete Vande Bharat train sets to overseas markets within three to four years. He said Indian-made components, including propulsion systems and bogies, are already exported to countries such as Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy and the United States.
Exporting complete train sets first requires developing standard-gauge versions that meet other countries' railway specifications; the state-run RITES is leading the design and development of the export versions. According to figures the Railway Ministry gave Parliament in March, India's exports of rolling stock and components totalled about 260 billion rupees between the 2016-17 fiscal year and January 2026.
The Vande Bharat is India's domestically developed semi-high-speed train series. The Bengaluru-Mumbai sleeper service launched on November 1 covers 1,118 kilometres in about 16 hours, with 16 coaches and 823 berths; it is the third Vande Bharat sleeper service to enter operation.
