The Tejas-Rajdhani Express is a semi-high-speed train operated in India. Indian Railways started to upgrade Rajdhani coaches to Tejas coaches. This replaced its traditional LHB Rajdhani coaches. By using Tejas smart coach, Indian Railways aims to move to predictive maintenance instead of preventive maintenance. This also increases its maximum speed to 130 km/h (81 mph) and maximum potential speed to 160 km/h (99 mph).[1]
Rakes of Agartala Rajdhani Express, Mumbai Rajdhani Express, Patna Rajdhani Express, August Kranti Rajdhani Express and Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express have been upgraded to Tejas coaches.[2][3][4][5][6]
