The Tejas Express is India’s first semi-high speed fully air-conditioned train Introduced by Indian Railways. It features modern onboard facilities with automatic doors. Tejas means "sharp", "lustre" and "brilliance" in many Indian languages. These trains are among the fastest trains in India along with Rajdhani Express, Gatimaan Express, Shatabdi Express, Vande Bharat Express and Duronto Express and get the highest priority on the Indian railway network.[1]

History

The inaugural run of Tejas Express was on 24 May 2017 from Mumbai CST to Karmali, Goa. It covered 552 km in 8 hours and 30 minutes.[2] On 2 March 2019, second Tejas Express of the country was flagged off between Chennai Egmore and Madurai by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.[3]

Tejas Express on New Delhi - Chandigarh route is expected to commence its services soon after its first announcement in 2016 whereas the fate of same on Lucknow - New Delhi route remains unclear as the train has been included in the current Trains at Glance, the official train time-table booklet, with "Date of Introduction to be declared" condition and at the same time news websites have quoted railway officials saying a hold of three years.[4][5][6][7] Meanwhile, the train service which was expected to be launched on Mumbai - Surat route has also been put on hold.[8]
