'''Shatabdi Express''' ({{lit|Century Express}}) are a series of [[Superfast Express trains in India|fast]] [[passenger train]]s operated by the [[Indian Railways]]. These are day trains and mostly return to their origin station the same day. The trains run at a maximum permissible speed of {{cvt|110|-|150|kph}} depending on the infrastructure on the corresponding route, with the [[Rani Kamalapati–New Delhi Shatabdi Express]] achieving the maximum permissible speed of {{cvt|150|kph}}.<ref>{{cite news |title=Shatabdi Express 2024: A list of operational Shatabdi routes, schedules, and more |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/trending/shatabdi-express-2024-operational-routes-9176724/ |access-date=16 August 2024 |work=[[The Indian Express]] |date=23 February 2024 |quote=Shatabdi Express Running Status: Among one of the fastest trains of Indian Railways, running at up to 130–150 km/h (81–93 mph), the Shatabdi Express trains are a series of fast passenger trains operated by Indian Railways to connect metro cities with other cities.}}</ref>
& business purposes. Shatabdi Express are day-trains and they return to the station of origin the same day.


The Shatabdi along with the [[Rajdhani Express|Rajdhani]] and the [[Duronto Express|Duronto]] are among the major in India and Indian Railways considers Rajdhani and Shatabdi as prestigious. Shatabdi Expresses gets the second highest priority, after Rajdhani Expresses which gets highest priority and overall second highest until [[Vande Bharat Express|Train 18]], [[Gatimaan Express|Gatimaan]], and [[Tejas Express]] came in existence.
==History==
The Shatabdi Express trains run over short to medium distances while the [[Rajdhani Express]]es and the [[Duronto Express]]es are long-distance trains. [[Rajdhani Express]]es connect the nation's capital [[New Delhi]] to capitals of states and other major cities while Duronto Expresses connect major cities to other major cities. All three series of trains have a maximum speed of about {{convert|130|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. The 12001 [[Bhopal Shatabdi]] express, however, runs at a peak speed of {{convert|155|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}, which makes it the [[fastest train|fourth fastest train]] in India after the [[Tejas Express]], [[Gatimaan Express]] and [[Vande Bharat Express]].
The name "Shatabdi" means century in [[Sanskrit language|Sanskrit]] and the first Shatabdi Express train was announced on 10 July 1988 by then railways minister [[Madhavrao Scindia]] to commemorate the birth centenary of [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], the first [[Prime Minister of India|Indian prime minister]] and plied between [[New Delhi railway station|New Delhi]] and [[Gwalior railway station|Gwalior]]. The first Shatabdi, at that time the fastest train of the country, ran at a maximum speed of {{cvt|140|kph}}. The maximum speed was increased to {{cvt|150|kph}} between [[Tughlakabad railway station|Tughlakabad]] and [[Agra Cantonment railway station|Agra Cantonment]] on 15 February 2006, and it was the fastest train in India till the introduction of the [[Gatimaan Express|Gatiman Express]] in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/fastest-trains-in-india-before-high-speed-rail-system-took-over/|title=Fastest trains in India|work=[[The Indian Express]]|access-date=1 June 2025}}</ref>

Shatabdi Express trains offer fast connectivity with only a few intermediate stops. They are fully air-conditioned and of a much higher standard than most Indian trains. Shatabdi travelers were provided with bottled water, juice, coffee or tea, and meals relevant to the time of day of the journey but now they don’t including the rajdhanis. Travelers have to pay for food at an extra cost. Linen is also not provided by the railways nowadays. All these new changes happened after the covid 19 situation in India.
As Shatabdi Express are day-trains and return to the station of origin the same day, coaches have only seats and not berths. They are fully air-conditioned and the trains have multiple [[Indian Railways coaching stock|AC Chair Car]] coaches and most of them have one or two coaches of [[Indian Railways coaching stock|Executive Class]] seating. Indian Railways offers [[Indian Railways coaching stock|Anubhuti class]] seating and [[Indian Railways coaching stock|Vistadome coach]]es offering large windows, transparent roofing, and rotatable seats in select trains.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/telangana/vistadome-coach-promises-scenic-journey/article65815694.ece|title=Vistadome coach promises scenic journey|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|date=27 August 2022|access-date=5 November 2022}}</ref> The trains used to operate on specialized coaches manufactured by [[Integral Coach Factory]], [[Chennai]] with the older coaches now been replaced with newer [[LHB coach|LHB rakes]] on all the trains.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/infrastructure/safe-and-smooth-indian-railways-travel-these-trains-to-run-with-lhb-rakes/2412308/|title=Safe and smooth Indian Railways travel!

Shatabdi trains are also further distinguished from other trains, in terms of convenience in boarding and disembarking. Most stations give them priority berthing at the better platforms, such as ones located close to the station building or waiting halls (generally platform number 1 at most of the stations).

=== Active ===
{{As of|04|2025}}, there are 21 operational pairs of Shatabdi express trains.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://indiarailinfo.com/trains/shatabdi|title=India Rail timetable|publisher=Indian Railways|access-date=5 December 2023}}</ref>


Berths and seats in Shatabdi Express, Duronto Express and Rajdhani Express trains have to be reserved in advance before boarding the train.

==Trivia==
|+'''List of defunct trains'''
* For many years, the Bhopal Shatabdi Express (now [[Rani Kamalapati - New Delhi Shatabdi Express]]) held the record for the fastest train in India, reaching speeds of up to 150&amp;nbsp;km/h on certain stretches, particularly between Tughlakabad and Agra.
!style="background-color:lightblue;"|#
* Unlike most long-distance Indian trains, Shatabdi Express trains are designed exclusively for day travel. This means they only have seating arrangements (Chair Car and Executive Chair Car) and no sleeping berths.  
!style="background-color:lightblue;"|Train no.
* The MGR Chennai Central–Mysuru Shatabdi Express (launched in 1994) holds the distinction of being the first Shatabdi Express to operate in South India.
!style="background-color:lightblue;"|Route
* [[Gatiman Express]] is also such type of a train but faster than Shatabdi Train where infrastructure is available that had a difference of yellow stripes in all its coaches, and has fare slightly higher than that of Shatabdi Express.
!style="background-color:lightblue;"|Distance
* [[Howrah–Digha Super AC Express]], completely a Shatabdi Express type train having other name instead of "Shatabdi Express" after conversion from a [[Duronto Express]] of year 2010 to 2015 was suspended during COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and was withdrawn later without making any journey since that suspension period.

A variant of the Shatabdi Express, Swarna Shatabdi Express, is considered more luxurious by Indian Railway. [[Indian Railways]] later introduced a lower-priced version [[Jan Shatabdi Express]]es, which are nearly all without air-conditioning and much more affordable.
 
A former [[Minister of Railways (India)|railway minister]] Lalu Prasad Yadav had also introduced ''[[Garib Rath]]'' (chariot of the poor) in 2005. These are fast trains (like the Rajdhani and Shatabdi), which are fully air-conditioned and with lower fares. These trains are quite successful and compete with low-cost airlines on some long-distance routes.

Shatabdi Express (lit. 'Century Express') are a series of fast passenger trains operated by the Indian Railways. These are day trains and mostly return to their origin station the same day. The trains run at a maximum permissible speed of 110–150 km/h (68–93 mph) depending on the infrastructure on the corresponding route, with the Rani Kamalapati–New Delhi Shatabdi Express achieving the maximum permissible speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).[1]

History[edit | edit source]

The name "Shatabdi" means century in Sanskrit and the first Shatabdi Express train was announced on 10 July 1988 by then railways minister Madhavrao Scindia to commemorate the birth centenary of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Indian prime minister and plied between New Delhi and Gwalior. The first Shatabdi, at that time the fastest train of the country, ran at a maximum speed of 140 km/h (87 mph). The maximum speed was increased to 150 km/h (93 mph) between Tughlakabad and Agra Cantonment on 15 February 2006, and it was the fastest train in India till the introduction of the Gatiman Express in 2016.[2]

Facilities[edit | edit source]

Shatabdi Express trains offer fast connectivity between major cities with only a few intermediate stops and can run at a maximum speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).[3][4][5] Passengers are provided with on-board catering.[6] Onboard entertainment systems are available in select trains providing content via satellite.[7] Seats in Shatabdi Express have to be reserved in advance as there is no unreserved accommodation, unlike most of the other trains in India.[8] Reservation is allowed until up to 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time and the seats are auto allocated by the reservation system.[9][10] Dynamic pricing is applicable on the fares.[11]

Rolling stock[edit | edit source]

Interior of an AC chair car coach

As Shatabdi Express are day-trains and return to the station of origin the same day, coaches have only seats and not berths. They are fully air-conditioned and the trains have multiple AC Chair Car coaches and most of them have one or two coaches of Executive Class seating. Indian Railways offers Anubhuti class seating and Vistadome coaches offering large windows, transparent roofing, and rotatable seats in select trains.[12] The trains used to operate on specialized coaches manufactured by Integral Coach Factory, Chennai with the older coaches now been replaced with newer LHB rakes on all the trains.[13] The trains are hauled by various diesel or electric locomotives diesel locomotives like WDP-4 , WDG-4 , WDM-3A , WDM-3D and a new specialized high speed locomotive class WAP-7HS and WAP-5 with a maximum speed of 180 km/h (110 mph) for hauling Shatabdi express trains was introduced in 2019.[14]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • For many years, the Bhopal Shatabdi Express (now Rani Kamalapati - New Delhi Shatabdi Express) held the record for the fastest train in India, reaching speeds of up to 150&nbsp;km/h on certain stretches, particularly between Tughlakabad and Agra.
  • Unlike most long-distance Indian trains, Shatabdi Express trains are designed exclusively for day travel. This means they only have seating arrangements (Chair Car and Executive Chair Car) and no sleeping berths.
  • The MGR Chennai Central–Mysuru Shatabdi Express (launched in 1994) holds the distinction of being the first Shatabdi Express to operate in South India.
  • Gatiman Express is also such type of a train but faster than Shatabdi Train where infrastructure is available that had a difference of yellow stripes in all its coaches, and has fare slightly higher than that of Shatabdi Express.
  • Howrah–Digha Super AC Express, completely a Shatabdi Express type train having other name instead of "Shatabdi Express" after conversion from a Duronto Express of year 2010 to 2015 was suspended during COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and was withdrawn later without making any journey since that suspension period.
