In a major boost to railway travel, the Indian government has introduced Duronto Express, country's first non-stop train service. Designed for faster and more efficient long-distance travel, Duronto Express will operate between key cities across India, offering both AC and non-AC sleeper classes to passengers.
Duronto Express is among the fastest train services in India, capable of reaching speeds of 130 km/h. The trains feature a distinctive yellow-green livery and, in some cases, even surpass the speeds of Rajdhani Express, which has long been considered the fastest long-distance train in the country.
