Indian Railways is planning to shift the Bhopal Shatabdi Express, the country’s first Shatabdi train, from New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS) to Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station (NZM).

Why is Bhopal Shatabdi shifting to Hazrat Nizamuddin?
The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) is overseeing the redevelopment of New Delhi Railway Station. To ensure construction happens without disrupting passenger movement, Northern Railway has proposed shifting several trains. Work has already started near platform number one. This move aims to reduce congestion and inconvenience for travelers during the construction phase, which is expected to last between 2 to 4 years.
Which other trains are affected by this plan?
It is not just the Bhopal Shatabdi; approximately 30 trains are likely to be moved to other stations in Delhi. These include various Humsafar Express and other Mail/Express trains. The Railway Board will give the final approval for this shift. The exact date for the transition has not been fixed yet, though some reports suggest it could happen before the festive season.
