I was randomly checking about vande bharat sleeper trainsets, and encountered the official website of the Kinet Railway Solutions,
[Blocked URL: https://kinet.co.in/#rec659989973]
Kinet is a JV between RVNL and russian company TMH. For 200 vande bharat sleepers, Kinet is going to manufacture 120 trainsets with more or less 1920 coaches over next 3 to 4 years.
Based on news, new trainsets from Rail coach factory at Latur, Maharashtra will rollout vande bharat by 2026 mid.
There have been total 210 vande bharat sleeper on order,
>10 to ICF Chennai which subcontracted it to BEML
1 prototype is already being tested and validated.
>120 to Kinet
>80 to Titagarh Wagons and BHEML
These will be all ac trains, with 3rd ac, 2nd ac and 1st ac trainsets. 3 toilets per coach, 1 pantry. Inside of the train is pretty big upgrade compared to current trains.
It will have operational speed of 160kmph with peak speed of 180kmph.
There's also aluminum version in plans, 200 of those but last tender which Alstom won was shelved. Hopefully we will see it soon. Aluminum trainsets can easily reach operational speed of 180kmph with peak upto 220kmph (personal opinion based on certain information - which has been implied).
We might see regular run of BEML / ICF based VB sleeper this year itself though.

I seriously have hard time understanding how can one be ok with sharing toilet with 100 others
