Black Vande Bharat: A video of a black Vande Bharat Express is circulating on social media, claiming to have new and modern features. A fact check revealed that this video was created using AI and is not an actual design or prototype of the Vande Bharat Express. Railway officials have clarified that there are no plans for a black Vande Bharat Express at this time.
When it comes to Indian Railways ‘ luxury trains, the Vande Bharat is the first name that comes to mind. The semi-high-speed train, Vande Bharat, has become a popular choice these days. The Railways is planning to introduce the sleeper Vande Bharat soon .
Recently, photos of the interior of the Sleeper Vande Bharat’s First AC coach also surfaced. However, a video of a black Vande Bharat Express is currently going viral on social media. People claim that the Vande Bharat Express, equipped with new and modern amenities, is different from existing trains. The video shows a striking black train with large windows and impressive design. The train reminds one of the Rajdhani Express. But is this true?
A fact check revealed that this video was created using AI. This is not an actual design or prototype of the Vande Bharat Express. Currently, the Vande Bharat train operates in two colors: the first white-blue Vande Bharat and the orange-gray train introduced this year. The black Vande Bharat shown in the video is completely unrealistic. A closer look at the video reveals several inaccuracies. “Vande Bharat 2003” is written on the front of the train, whereas the first Vande Bharat train was flagged off by PM Modi in 2019.
The text on the train’s side panels is blurry and illegible, a clear sign of an AI video. Experts say that such videos created with AI tools go viral due to their photo quality and futuristic design. Fact-checkers have urged frequent train travelers to verify the authenticity of such videos before sharing them. Indian Railways is increasing the number of Vande Bharat trains, adding new technology and comfort. However, railway officials have clarified that there are currently no plans for a black Vande Bharat train.
