There is fantastic news for railway passengers in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Haryana! Indian Railways has officially announced the launch of a new Amrit Bharat Express service that will bridge the distance between the Northeast and Northern India. The new train will run between Kamakhya (Guwahati) and Rohtak, providing a much-needed direct link for travelers. For residents of Ghaziabad and surrounding areas, this comes as a massive relief, offering a convenient new option to travel towards Assam and Bengal.
Bridging the Distance: From Haryana to Assam
The introduction of the Amrit Bharat Express on this route is part of a larger initiative by Indian Railways to launch nine new routes across the country. This specific service serves a dual purpose: it connects the industrial hub of Rohtak in Haryana with the gateway to the Northeast, Kamakhya.
For our readers in Delhi and Ghaziabad, this route is particularly significant. While the train originates and terminates in Rohtak, the route passing through the NCR region (via Ghaziabad) acts as a vital connector. It opens up affordable, high-speed travel for the working class and families looking to visit their hometowns in the eastern states without the hassle of changing multiple trains.
Check the Full Schedule and Timings
Planning your journey is essential, and we have the specific timings for this new service. The train is designed to cover the long distance over the weekend, making it convenient for working professionals.
- Train Number 15671 (Kamakhya to Rohtak): This train departs from Kamakhya on Friday nights at 10:00 PM. It travels through Saturday and arrives in Rohtak on Sunday afternoon at 2:45 PM.
- Train Number 15672 (Rohtak to Kamakhya): For the return journey, the train leaves Rohtak on Sunday nights at 10:10 PM. It is scheduled to reach Kamakhya on Tuesday afternoon at 12:15 PM.
Note: While the train is set to pass through the Ghaziabad-Delhi corridor, passengers are advised to check the official IRCTC website or the NTES app for the exact arrival and departure timings at the Ghaziabad station specifically.
What Makes the Amrit Bharat Express Special?
If you haven’t traveled on an Amrit Bharat Express yet, you are in for a different experience. Unlike the Vande Bharat, which is a premium service, the Amrit Bharat Express is designed for the “Aam Aadmi” (common man). It features non-air-conditioned sleeper and general coaches but utilizes “Push-Pull” technology.
This technology allows for faster acceleration and deceleration, significantly reducing travel time compared to traditional mail/express trains. With improved cushioned luggage racks, mobile charging points, and modern toilets, the journey from Rohtak or Ghaziabad all the way to Guwahati promises to be much more comfortable than older train services.
This is a developing story, and as operations stabilize, we expect more clarity on intermediate stoppages. For now, it’s time to update your travel plans!
