In July 2023, Indian railways announced plans for a non air-conditioned train with sleeper and general facilities for long-distance travel.

Amrit Bharat trains have upgraded non air-conditioned second-class and three-tier sleeper coaches. The coaches are manufactured by Integral Coach Factory at Chennai. In contrast to other Indian trains, the train-sets will have a locomotive at both ends in a push-pull configuration, enabling better acceleration and shorter turnaround times in direction reversals. The train-sets will be powered by two WAP-5 locomotives with vibration resistance engines manufactured by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works.

Each train-set consists of 22 coaches: 12 3-tier sleeper class, eight second-class and two luggage coaches. The coaches are equipped with electric outlets, reading lights, CCTV cameras, bio-vacuum toilets, Sensor-based water taps and Passenger information system. The train-sets will also have semi-permanent couplers to avoid shocks during starting and stopping of the train and fully-covered vestibules to facilitate stability and safety. The trains will operate at a maximum permissible speed (MPS) of 130 km/h.

On 30 December 2023, the train was flagged off by then Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Ayodhya Dham Junction. The first commercial service commenced on 1 January 2024.
