IRCTC to start launch Kashi Mahakal Express train
Feb. 16, 2020

After successfully running two Tejas Express trains between New Delhi-Lucknow and Mumbai-Ahmedabad route, Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is all set to launch to its third private train today. Termed as the Kashi Mahakal Express, the new train will run between Varanasi and Indore. Kashi Mahakal Express will be flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, said an IRCTC official.

The new Kashi Mahakal Express will connect three places — Jyotirlinga - Omkareshwar (near Indore in Madhya Pradesh), Mahakaleshwar (Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh) and Kashi Vishwanath (Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh). IRCTC's third private train will also connect industrial and educational hub of Indore, and Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh.

The train will begin its commercial run from February 20. The Kashi Mahakal Express will operate three days in a week — it will be a bi-weekly service through the Sultanpur-Lucknow route and a weekly service via the Prayagraj route.
