The top operating speed of the Gatimaan Express is up to 160 km/h between Tughlakabad railway station to Agra Cantt, which makes it the fastest regularly scheduled train service in India with Rani Kamalapati (Habibganj) - Hazrat Nizamuddin Vande Bharat Express.

History

In October 2014, Indian Railways applied for a safety certificate from the Commission of Railway Safety to start the service.[6] In June 2015, the train was officially announced. The first service ran on 5 April 2016, completing its maiden journey between Nizamuddin and Agra Cantt within 100 minutes.[7][8] Due to low occupancy, Indian Railways first extended the train from Agra to Gwalior on 19 February 2018 and then to Virangana Lakshmibai junction on 1 April 2018.[9][10]
