The 20507/20508 Sairang–Anand Vihar Terminal Rajdhani Express is a Rajdhani Express train of Indian Railways that connects Sairang of Mizoram and Anand Vihar Terminal of New Delhi, the capital city of India.[1][2][3]

The train will inaugurated on 13 September 2025 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Aizwal, Mizoram in India.[4]

History

The Sairang–Anand Vihar Terminal Rajdhani Express is a proposed premier train service intended to link the northeastern state of Mizoram with the national capital, New Delhi. The train originates from Sairang, located near Aizawl, and terminates at Anand Vihar Terminal in Delhi. It is planned as part of Indian Railways’ strategy to improve high-speed and long-distance connectivity for the northeastern region, following similar Rajdhani services introduced from Assam, Tripura, and Arunachal Pradesh. The proposal gained significance after the Sairang railway station was developed as a key terminal in Mizoram. Reports indicate that the service is expected to be inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, reflecting the government’s broader policy of enhancing integration of the northeast with the rest of the country. Upon commencement, the train will provide fully air-conditioned coaches, including First AC, Second AC, and Third AC, with catering and onboard services similar to other Rajdhani Express trains.

In addition to strengthening regional connectivity, the Sairang–Anand Vihar Terminal Rajdhani Express also symbolizes the first-ever direct Rajdhani link for Mizoram. Until now, passengers from the state relied on railheads in Assam or Tripura to access long-distance premium trains. The project gained momentum after the completion of the Bhairabi–Sairang railway line, which extended the rail network deep into Mizoram's capital region. Once operational, the train is expected to reduce travel time to Delhi by several hours, offering faster, more comfortable, and reliable travel for students, professionals, and government officials. It will also boost tourism and trade opportunities, showcasing Mizoram’s integration into India’s expanding railway map.
