Indian Railways has announced that new train services connecting Rewa-Pune, Jabalpur-Raipur, and Gwalior-KSR Bengaluru will commence operations within the next two months. The introduction of these routes is expected to benefit thousands of passengers, improve trade and tourism, and strengthen ties between central and southern India.
This much-awaited service will directly connect Rewa in Madhya Pradesh to Pune, Maharashtra’s bustling IT and education hub. The new train will provide a comfortable and efficient travel option for students, professionals, and families, reducing travel time and eliminating the need for multiple transfers.
The Jabalpur-Raipur train will bridge two key cities in central India, facilitating smoother movement for business travelers, tourists, and local commuters. The route is expected to boost economic activity along its corridor, supporting industries and local markets.
Connecting Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh to KSR Bengaluru in Karnataka, this service will open up new opportunities for long-distance travelers, students, and professionals heading to one of India’s largest tech and education centers. The direct link is anticipated to foster cultural exchange and economic collaboration between the regions.
A senior official from Indian Railways said, “These new services are part of our ongoing commitment to expand the rail network, improve passenger convenience, and support the government’s vision of inclusive growth. We are confident that these routes will be well-received and will play a vital role in regional development.”
Indian Railways has already begun the necessary groundwork, including track upgrades, station enhancements, and staff training, to ensure a smooth launch. Timetables, ticketing details, and fare structures are expected to be released soon, with bookings likely to open in the coming weeks.
