Delhi to Mumbai trains run daily. Before 2017, there used to be two Rajdhani, with the introduction of the third one, the fares have reduced. It now costs about 600-800 rupees lesser to the cover the 1,377km. The new Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani has cut the travel time by two hours. It covers the busy route in just less than 14 hours. The two other Rajdhani are the Kranti Rajdhani and the Delhi Mumbai Train Central-New Delhi Rajdhani which take about 16-17 hours. Like most other Rajdhani, the train is hauled by two electric locomotives for better acceleration and braking, and hence, can achieve higher average speeds.

The Flexi fare is not levied on bookings on this train. The base fare, however, is 20 percent more than that of the existing Rajdhani on the route.
The train starts at the Hazrat Nizamuddin station in Delhi and will terminate at Bandra Terminus in Delhi Mumbai Train. It will have only three stops en route at, Kota, Vadodara, and Surat.

The special train will consist of one first AC, two 2AC and twelve 3AC coaches besides a pantry car and two power cars.
