A new summer special train will soon connect Indore and Mumbai. The service, introduced by Western Railway, aims to meet increased travel demand during the warmer months. Passengers can now book tickets for this fully air-conditioned route starting early May. The train, classified as an AC Superfast Special Train on Demand (TOD), will operate between May 4 and June 29. It will complete 17 trips in each direction during this period.

From Mumbai, the service (Train No 09079) departs every Sunday and Tuesday at 11.20 pm. The return journey from Indore (Train No 09080) leaves every Monday and Wednesday at 5 pm.
