The fastest option

Train 12951 is the quickest at about 15h 35m, averaging roughly 88 km/h including halts — it makes only 6 stops between Mumbai Central and New Delhi. Fewer halts is usually the whole explanation for why one train beats another by hours on the same corridor.

Check which station you actually leave from

This is the most common mistake on this route. Departures here are spread across 4 stations in Mumbai — Bandra Terminus, Mumbai CSMT, Mumbai Central, Panvel — and arrivals across 2 stations in Delhi: Hazrat Nizamuddin, New Delhi.

These are not interchangeable, and in a big city they can be an hour apart in traffic. Read the exact station off your ticket, not the city name.

What this list covers

These are the 12 trains serving Mumbai to Delhi in our timetable database, which covers major long-distance and express services. Indian Railways also runs seasonal specials, festival extras and additional services that are not included here, and schedules are revised periodically. Treat this page as a planning tool and confirm availability for your date on IRCTC.

For the full stop-by-stop schedule of any train above, follow its number. If the timings look confusing — particularly working out which day you arrive on the longer runs — see how to read a time table. Once booked, check your PNR status, and if you end up waitlisted, the quota code matters more than the number.
