== Overview ==<br />
Owing to the high demands of the passengers plying between Delhi and Kolkata and to ease down the existing pressure of bookings on the [[Howrah Rajdhani Express]], [[Indian Railways]] decided to introduce another Rajdhani Class train between these two cities. Since Howrah Division of Eastern Railways already had two existing Rajdhani Express trains, thus Sealdah Division of Eastern Railway was awarded with third Rajdhani Express to [[West Bengal]]. Hence on 1 July 2000, the first Sealdah Rajdhani Express left for New Delhi from Sealdah for its maiden journey.<ref>{{cite news |title=Sealdah–New Delhi Rajdhani Express का बदला समय, अब देर से पहुंचेगी दिल्ली |url=https://www.jagran.com/jharkhand/dhanbad-sealdah-new-delhi-rajdhani-express-time-table-changed-of-sealdah-new-delhi-rajdhani-express-21148852.html |access-date=19 July 2021 |work=Dainik Jagran |language=hi}}</ref><br />
