The fares would remain affordable for most passengers. The tickets for booking in the AC Chair Car would range between $18 and $23, while for the Executive Classes, the fares would be between $24 and $30.
It would incorporate modern amenities for passengers such as air-conditioned coaches, internet connectivity, reclining seats, and state-of-the-art safety systems. Also, since it would help in encouraging local manufacture, it would stimulate employment in the region.

Entrepreneurs would have an efficient means to transport their products, and better connectivity would attract more development to the areas around Pune-Nanded cities.
When the Vande Bharat Express starts operations in late 2025, it would represent India’s commitment to eco-friendly railway modernization on the lines of passengers’ satisfaction.
