With the addition of Wednesday to its schedule, the in-demand train will now be in service five days a week, with Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday being the four other days on which it is in operation.

“The frequency of Mumbai Central–Ahmedabad Tejas Express also increased from 4 days in a week to 5 days in a week.

In addition to this, keeping in mind the convenience of passengers, and to meet the travel demand, an additional AC Chair Car coach has also been installed in the Ahmedabad-Mumbai Central Tejas, as announced by the Western Railway, also on December 19.

The Ahmedabad-Mumbai Central Tejas Express returned to tracks on August 7, after its services were suspended on April 2, at the onset of and due to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Launched on January 19, 2020, the train is among several semi-high speed, fully AC Tejas category trains currently in operation. Operated by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), it is India's second private train, after the Lucknow-New Delhi Tejas, which, too, is operated by the IRCTC.
