'''Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus - Nagpur Junction Duronto Express''' is a daily service train which runs between [[Nagpur Junction railway station|Nagpur Junction]], the second Capital of [[Maharashtra]] after [[Mumbai]] and [[Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus|Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus]], Mumbai. The train is the most popular on this route. The Duronto Express was introduced in November 2009.<ref>{{Cite news|date=24 July 2009|title=Nagpur-Mumbai, back non-stop Duronto train to run three days|work=Hindustan Times|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/nagpur-mumbai-back-non-stop-duronto-train-to-run-three-days/story-8lLxjYE0Fv4GtaWDMW8ZwL.html|access-date=4 January 2021}}</ref>{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}} It is considered as the fastest daily service Express on NGP-CSMT [[Central Railway zone|Central Railway]] line.

==Stoppages==
Being a Duronto Express, it does not stop at any other station in between. However it does stop at [[Bhusaval Junction railway station|Bhusawal Junction]] as a technical Halt. It also stops at [[Igatpuri railway station|Igatpuri]] and [[Kasara railway station|Kasara]] for removal and addition of banker engines. But from 1st of January 2016 all/some technical halts are converted to commercial halt.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}} Thus tickets are issued from Nagpur, Bhusaval, Igatpuri and Mumbai.

==Locomotive==

Previously, a [[Indian locomotive class WCAM-2|WCAM 2/2P]] or [[Indian locomotive class WCAM-3|WCAM 3]] used to haul the train from Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus to Igatpuri (technical halt) following which it got either a [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP 4]] of [[Electric Loco Shed, Bhusawal|Bhusawal Electric Loco Shed]] or [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP 7]] of [[Electric Loco Shed, Ajni|Ajni Electric Loco Shed]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}

With Central Railway completing the change over of 1500 V DC traction to 25,000 V AC traction on 06 June 2015, this train is now hauled end to end by Ajni based WAP 7.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}
