    The Delhi–Mumbai line is a major railway line in India. Linking the national capital of New Delhi with financial capital Mumbai, this railway line covers a distance of 1,386 kilometres (861 mi) across the Indian states of Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. Mumbai Tejas-Rajdhani Express which is the fastest Tejas-Rajdhani Express and the fastest train on this route, travels on this line and covers the distance between Delhi and Mumbai in 15 hours and 32 minutes at a top speed of 130km/h and a top average speed of 89 km/h.[citation needed]

From here it runs in Southwest direction and passes through cities of Bharatpur, Kota, Ratlam, Vadodara, Surat before terminating at Mumbai Central.

    The line is set to be upgraded for the trains to travel at a speed of 130 kmph. This will reduce the travel time between the two cities. In future the new generation trains such as Vande Bharat and its sleeper version would also be able to run at a speed of 160 kmph.[5]
