Rajasthan Gets Three New Train Services, Including Two Vande Bharat Express Routes

Indian Railways has strengthened its network in Rajasthan with the introduction of three new train services, including two Vande Bharat Express trains and one long-distance express. The new connections linking Jodhpur to Delhi Cantt, Bikaner to Delhi Cantt and Udaipur City to Chandigarh were launched on September 25, 2025. The move comes just ahead of the festive season and is expected to provide passengers with faster and more convenient travel options across the region.

Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the development on X, highlighting the government's push towards strengthening infrastructure for a "developed Rajasthan."
