Tickets for the Vande Bharat Express, India's fastest train, are sold out for the next 10 days, railways said on Monday. The train had developed a snag on its return journey from Varanasi to Delhi on Saturday, hours after its inaugural run.
Sources said officials worked all day to fix the problem emanating from a charging cable malfunction which affected the train's wheels and braking system.
The train will run five days a week, except on Mondays and Thursdays. According to officials, the train is 121% booked for Tuesday, 112% for Wednesday, 109% for Friday and 114% for Saturday.
Similarly, from February 24 to February March 3, the train is booked 104% on average.
