Nagpur's Vanbala Toy Train Revival Pending Funding and Government Approval
Nagpur's toy train Vanbala has been suspended since January 2025 due to technical issues and awaits funding approval for a detailed project report (DPR) to overhaul its aging tracks and systems. The Forest Department submitted a funding proposal to the State Government in July 2026 after in-principle approval from the Maharashtra Eco-Tourism Board. The train, a city attraction since 1978, has faced repeated interruptions, and its revival timeline remains uncertain pending government sanction.
