Over the years, Indian Railways has steadily expanded modern, passenger-friendly services, ensuring reliability, safety, and enhanced comfort are no longer exclusive to premium travellers.
In line with this vision, the Amrit Bharat Express has emerged as a boon for everyday passengers. Conceived as a special offering of the Amrit Kaal, it delivers seamless, non-AC long-distance sleeper class travel at fares of around ₹500 per thousand kilometres, with short and medium-distance journeys priced proportionally lower, connecting regions often separated by geography and opportunity. The fare structure is simple and transparent, with no dynamic pricing, making it accessible for the common man.
Adding to the tally of 30 Amrit Bharat Express trains launched in 2023, within just one week, nine new services will be added. A new set of Amrit Bharat Express services will extend rail links from the eastern and sub-Himalayan regions to major destinations across southern, western and central India.
These new Amrit Bharat Express services are being introduced on routes passing through Assam, Bihar and West Bengal, regions that account for a large share of India’s migrant workforce and long-distance rail passengers.
During festive seasons and peak migration periods, these trains will provide reliable, affordable and comfortable connectivity for travellers commuting for employment, education and family needs across different parts of the country.
The routes of nine Amrit Bharat Express trains are as follows:
1. Guwahati (Kamakhya) – Rohtak Amrit Bharat Express
2. Dibrugarh – Lucknow (Gomti Nagar) Amrit Bharat Express
3. New Jalpaiguri – Nagercoil Amrit Bharat Express
4. New Jalpaiguri – Tiruchirappalli Amrit Bharat Express
5. Alipurduar – SMVT Bengaluru Amrit Bharat Express
6. Alipurduar – Mumbai (Panvel) Amrit Bharat Express
