'''Mumbai–New Delhi Duronto Express''', also known as '''Mumbai AC Duronto Express''', is a fully air-conditioned, non-stop version of [[Duronto Express|Duronto]]-type service running between {{stnlnk|Mumbai Central}} and [[New Delhi]]. It is maintained by Western Railways (WR), Mumbai division. This train does not used to make any commercial halts, but now it does make commercial halts at Vadodara, Ratlam and Kota. In the up direction, from New Delhi to Mumbai, the service runs with train number 22210 and in down direction, from Mumbai to New Delhi, as train number 22209. Post extension of Sealdah–New Delhi Duronto to Bikaner, this train is currently the fastest Duronto Express in Indian Railways.

Most of the other Duronto trains take less travel time than their Rajdhani counterparts. Therefore, before the introduction of Mumbai Duronto, it was expected to be the fastest service on the route by many Indian [[railfan]]s. The Rajdhani Express gets top-most priority on the route, making it the fastest train in the Mumbai–Delhi route. But, the Rajdhani continues to be the fastest as both trains cover the same distance and despite being non-stop service, with no commercial halts, the Duronto takes 40–70 mins more than the Rajdhani.

The maiden run of the train was on 18 March 2012. It ran as 02209 down Mumbai Central–New Delhi Duronto inaugural special express for the very first time<ref>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/akshaypatilwcam/6849617756/]</ref> and was flagged off by the Mayor of Mumbai, Sunil Prabhu. The first run according to the timetable was done on 20 March 2012, from Delhi to Mumbai. The regular run with the original train numbers was started on 23 March 2012 from Mumbai as 22209.

22210 Mumbai Duronto used to arrive Mumbai Central at 17:00 hrs initially but changes were made and the arrival time at Mumbai was made 45 mins earlier i.e. at 16:15 hrs. Similarly, the down train used to arrive at New Delhi at 16:55 hrs, 10–20 mins early on average, hence, it now officially arrives at New Delhi at 16:30 hrs.<ref>[http://indiarailinfo.com/train/arrdephistory/arrival-departure-history-mumbai-central-new-delhi-ac-duronto-express-22209-bct-to-ndls/17125/297/664]</ref>
