NEW DELHI, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday flagged off the country's first semi high speed train - Vande Bharat Express.

The train, previously named Train 18, was flagged off from the New Delhi railway station.

"The train can run up to a maximum speed of 160 kmph and will provide a totally new travel experience to passengers," a spokesman said.

Indian railway minister Piyush Goyal and members of railway board were on board the train on its inaugural journey.

The train will travel from Delhi to Varanasi in 9 hours and 45 minutes, officials said.

The Indian government in 2015 announced an investment of over 137 billion U.S. dollars over a period of five years to boost railways and modernize it on new lines.

India's sprawling railways ferry around 23 million people each day.
