Vande Bharat tickets can now be booked 15 minutes before train departure
According to a News18 report, Indian Railways has introduced a new facility allowing passengers to book empty seats on Vande Bharat Express and other reserved trains up to 15 minutes prior to departure, even after the final reservation chart is released. This update is designed to boost seat occupancy and assist commuters who need to make last-minute travel arrangements. Previously, booking options were generally closed once the reservation chart was completed.
