Shatabdi Trains : Premium Short Distance Trains

Indian Railways introduced the Shatabdi Express, a superfast passenger train, in 1988. They return to their originating stations on the same day because they are day trains. The first Shatabdi train, the Jhansi Shatabdi Express, ran from New Delhi to Jhansi Junction, Uttar Pradesh, in November of 1988.

Shatabdi Express trains are a series of Indian Railways' fast (called super fast) passenger trains that connect Metro cities with other cities important for tourism, pilgrimage, or business. These trains are day-trains, meaning they leave and return on the same day.

Since Shatabdi trains are day trains that return to their starting station the same day, the coaches (known as AC Chair Car or CC) on the train only have seats, not berths. However, one or two coaches of Executive-class air-conditioned seating are available on all Shatabdi trains. Indian Railways, recently started service of Anubhuti Class in some of the Shatabdi Trains.
