Amrit Bharat is an Indian push-pull train, designed and developed by Indian Railways at its Integral Coach Factory in Chennai. It has non-air-conditioned three-tier sleeper and unreserved coaches.

Overview
Amrit Bharat trains have upgraded non-air-conditioned three-tier sleeper and unreserved coaches. The coaches are manufactured by Integral Coach Factory, Chennai at the cost of inr 650000000 per trainset. In contrast to other Indian trains, the trainsets will have a locomotive at both ends in a push-pull configuration, enabling better acceleration and shorter turnaround times in direction reversals. The trainsets will be powered by two WAP-5 locomotives with vibration resistance engines manufactured by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works. Each trainset consists of 22 coaches: 12 3-tier sleeper class, 8 unreserved and 2 luggage coaches. The coaches are equipped with electric outlets, reading lights, CCTV cameras, bio-vacuum toilets, sensor-based water taps and passenger information system. The trainsets will also have semi-permanent couplers to avoid shocks during starting and stopping of the train and fully-covered vestibules to facilitate stability and safety.

Engineering
As part of the "Make in India" Initiative, the Integral Coach Factory (ICF), a subsidiary of Indian Railways (IR), created and produced the Amrit Bharat Express. These steps demonstrate India’s commitment to a modern, efficient, and sustainable railway system capable of providing comfort and safety for millions of passengers traveling across the country.
