Indian Railways launches new weekly 'Amrit Bharat' train between Gujarat and Bihar

To strengthen the railway connectivity between Bihar and Gujarat, Indian Railways plans to launch a new weekly express train, 'Amrit Bharat,' between Ahmedabad and Bhagalpur. Ticket sales for train number 19423 will begin on Friday, August 21st, at PRS counters and on the IRCTC website. This train will cover the distance from Ahmedabad to Bhagalpur in approximately 36 hours and 10 minutes.

The railway company has decided to convert the existing special train 09447/09448 Ahmedabad-Patna-Ahmedabad into a regular service. This service will now operate as the weekly express 'Amrit Bharat' 19423/19424 Ahmedabad-Bhagalpur-Ahmedabad. According to Eastern Railway data, Bhagalpur, known as the City of Silk, will receive improved rail connectivity with Ahmedabad, a major industrial and economic hub of Gujarat. This decision was made by the railway in light of the growing passenger demand on this route.

Train number 19423 will depart from Ahmedabad on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, at 18:30. It is scheduled to arrive in Bhagalpur on Friday morning at 6:40. The journey from Ahmedabad to Bhagalpur will take about 36 hours and 10 minutes. The return train, number 19424, will depart from Bhagalpur on Friday, August 28, 2026, at 16:45. It is expected to reach Ahmedabad on Sunday morning at 5:25. The return journey will take approximately 36 hours and 40 minutes.

The new 'Amrit Bharat' express will be equipped with general unair-conditioned and sleeper class coaches. The maximum operational speed of the train is expected to be between 110 and 130 kilometers per hour. This train will run once a week.

Between Ahmedabad and Bhagalpur, the train will stop at several important stations, including Anand, Chhayapuri, Godhara, Dahod, Ratlam, Bhavani Mandi, Ramganga Mandi, and Kota. Further on, the train will pass through Savai Madhopur, Gangapur City, Hindon City, Bayana, Idga Agara, Tundla, Govindpuri, and Subedarganj. In Bihar, the main stops will be Pandit Din Dayal Upadhyay Junction, Baksar, Ara, Danapur, Patna, Bakhtiyarpur, Mokama, Kiul, Abhaipur, Jamalpur, and Sultanganj.

The new train will provide passengers traveling between Bihar and Gujarat with another direct rail option. Passengers from Bhagalpur, Patna, Danapur, Baksar, Kota, Ratlam, Anand, and Ahmedabad will benefit particularly. Since the train has general unair-conditioned and sleeper class coaches, it presents a useful option for regular passengers. Thanks to this railway decision, the connection between Bhagalpur, an important trading city in Bihar, and Ahmedabad, a key industrial center of Gujarat, will be strengthened.
