MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, INFORMATION & BROADCASTING AND ELECTRONICS & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

(SHRI ASHWINI VAISHNAW)

(a)  to  (d)  Mewar  Express  originates  from  Hazrat  Nizammudin  Railway station (Delhi). The scheduled timings and stoppages of 12963 H. Nizamuddin-Udaipur Mewar Express are as under:

| Station           | Arrival   | Departure   |
|-------------------|-----------|-------------|
| Hazrat Nizamuddin | -         | 18.25       |
| Ballabgarh        | 18.46     | 18.48       |
| Kosi Kalan        | 19.48     | 19.50       |
| Mathura           | 20.20     | 20.25       |
| Bharatpur         | 20.48     | 20.50       |
| Bayana            | 21.13     | 21.15       |
| Hindaun City      | 21.36     | 21.38       |
| Shri Mahaveerji   | 21.46     | 21.48       |
| Gangapur City     | 22.13     | 22.15       |
| Sawai Madhopur    | 23.03     | 23.05       |
| Kota              | 00.25     | 00.45       |
| Bundi             | 01.28     | 01.30       |
| Mandalgarh        | 02.28     | 02.30       |
| Chittaurgarh      | 04.40     | 04.55       |
| Kapasan           | 05.27     | 05.28       |
| Mavli             | 05.55     | 05.57       |
| Ranapratapnagar   | 06.38     | 06.40       |
| Udaipur City      | 07.25     | -           |

Mewar  Express is well patronised (occupancy about 100%  in both directions)  on  its  existing  timings.  Further,  change  in  timings  of  train services depends on occupancy, platform availability, path availability, etc.

Gauge conversion of Udaipur - Dungarpur-Himmat Nagar section has been completed  recently.  After  gauge  conversion,  5  pairs  of  trains,  as  listed under, connecting Dungarpur to important cities like Kota, Indore, Udaipur, Ahmedabad, Jaipur etc have been introduced:

1.  12981/12982 Jaipur - Asarva Express
2.  19315/19316 Indore - Asarva Express
3.  19821/19822 Asarva - Kota Express
4.  20987/20988 Udaipur City - Asarva Express
5.  69243/69244 Asarva - Chittaurgarh Passenger

Presently, 05 pairs of train services each connect Dungarpur to Ahmedabad and Dungarpur to Udaipur. Besides, introduction of new train services is an on-going  process  on  Indian  Railways  which  depends  on  various  factors including -

- Capacity of that section
- Availability of path
- Availability of required rolling stock
- Availability of matching infrastructure for rolling stock
- Maintenance requirement of railway tracks and other assets
