New Delhi: Indian Railways has witnessed massive transformation in the last 11 years under the Narendra Modi government. The Central government has implemented a slew of programs that have changed the face of the sector. From redevelopment of platforms to 100 percent electrification of railway tracks, the government has been working relentlessly to make the traveling experience of the passengers comfortable and convenient. Over the past decade, the Indian Railways has launched many new trains like Vande Bharat.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 272 kilometres long Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project in Jammu & Kashmir. As part of the launch, PM Modi also inaugurated the Chenab railway bridge, Anji Khad railway bridge and flag off two pairs of new Vande Bharat train services as well.
With this inauguration, Kashmir finally gets all-weather railway connectivity with the rest of India.
Indian Railways will commence regular operations of the two new Vande Bharat Express trains to Kashmir from June 7, 2025 – a day after PM Modi's inauguration of train services to Kashmir.
Now, according to the reports, a new Vande Bharat train will run between Chhatrapati Shahu Terminus and Mumbai. A demand in this regard was made in the Zonal Railway Passenger Advisory Committee meeting, as per the report by Saam. Here are some of the important details: This train is likely to start running from the terminus in the next fifteen days.
It is important to note that there are a large number of people traveling between Kolhapur and Mumbai, but there are no trains for the journey, which is causing problems for many.
Currently, the Vande Bharat train is running between Pune and Kolhapur.
Railway Advisory Committee member Shivnath Biyani reiterated the demand for Kolhapur-Mumbai Vande Bharat Railway in the meeting.
Currently, the Vande Bharat train is running from Kolhapur to Pune.
The new Vande Bharat train will have eight coaches and will carry 550 passengers.
This train was inaugurated on September 16, 2024 through video conferencing in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It runs three days a week, on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. It has eight coaches, including AC Chair Car and AC Executive Chair Car.
However, since this train only runs up to Pune, there was a constant demand from traders, employees and passengers to take it to Mumbai.

Himanta Sarma Launches 'Emergency Diaries', Calls For Removing 'Secularism, Socialism' From Constitution
Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, while addressing the media on Saturday at Vajpayee Bhawan, the state BJP headquarters in Guwahati, launched a book titled 'Emergency Diaries', highlighting the resistance and struggle during the Emergency, particularly emphasizing the role of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "Today, we have launched the book Emergency Diaries, which is basically about the struggle and resistance movement during that time organised by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi," Mr Sarma said. He added that it is now time to erase the legacies of the Emergency period, comparing it with PM Modi's ongoing efforts to remove remnants of colonial rule from Indian systems. "In the same spirit, we must work to wipe out the legacies of the Emergency. Two important legacies from that time are the insertion of the words secularism and socialism into our Constitution," he said. "I believe the word secularism contradicts Sarva Dharma Samabhava, which is a truly Indian concept. Similarly, socialism does not reflect our economic philosophy, which has always been about Sarvodaya and Antyodaya," he said. Launched the book 'Emergency Diaries' which chronicles Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji's life during the emergency and how he resisted the draconian regime and its unlawful practices. 📍 Guwahati — Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) June 28, 2025 Calling the terms foreign impositions, Mr Sarma urged the government of India to consider removing them. "These two words were not part of the original Constitution but were inserted later by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Therefore, I request the government of India to delete the words socialism and secularism from the Preamble of our Constitution," he said.
