Indian Railways plans to launch a new Amrit Bharat Express connecting Bhagalpur, known as the "Silk City of India," with Ahmedabad, a major industrial hub in Gujarat. The new weekly train will start on August 26, 2026, and is expected to alleviate passenger demand while enhancing connectivity between eastern and western India.

The train will run from Ahmedabad every Wednesday at 6:30 PM and reach Bhagalpur at 6:40 AM on Friday, arriving at Bhagalpur again on Sunday at 5:25 AM. It will make stops at important stations such as Anand, Chhayapuri, Godhra, Dahod, Ratlam, Bhawani Mandi, Ramganj Mandi, Kota, Sawai Madhopur, and others. Ticket booking for the train will commence on August 21, 2026, at all PRS counters and the IRCTC website.
