	The '''Howrah–New Delhi–Howrah ~~MumbaiDuronto~~ Express''' is a [[Duronto Express\|Duronto]] class train which operates between the capital of [[West Bengal]], [[Kolkata]] and the national capital [[New Delhi]]. It is the second Duronto Express connecting Delhi to Kolkata, the other one being the [[Sealdah–Bikaner Duronto Express]]. Most of the other Duronto trains take less travel time than their [[Rajdhani Express\|Rajdhani]] counterparts. Therefore, before the introduction of the Howrah Duronto, it was expected to be the fastest service on the route by many Indian railfans. The Rajdhani Express gets top-most priority on the route, making it the fastest train in the Howrah–Delhi route. But, the Rajdhani continues to be the fastest as both trains cover the same distance and despite being a non-stop service, with no commercial halts, the Duronto takes more time than the Rajdhani. It has been running with modern [[LHB coach\|LHB]] rakes since 2 July 2021, having a maximum permissible speed of 130 km/h, thus replacing the hybrid LHB Rakes which have a maximum permissible speed of 120 km/h.
