The Railways mentioned that these special trains are being introduced to ensure a smooth travel experience for passengers during the summer holidays.

Central Railway believes these services will help passengers better organize their travel plans during the summer holiday season.
Meanwhile, the Indian Railways also reported its performance for the fiscal year 2025–26. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav stated in the Lok Sabha that the Railways operated a record 76, 352 special trains this year. He added that approximately 25, 000 trains are currently operating daily on the nationwide railway network. These figures clearly demonstrate that the Railways is continuously expanding its services to meet growing passenger demand.
