Vande Bharat Express Adds Navsari to Its Stops
From August 23, the Gandhinagar Capital–Mumbai Central Vande Bharat Express (Train No. 20902) will make an experimental two-minute halt at Navsari station, responding to growing public demand and improving regional connectivity.
Timings of the New Stop
- The southbound train (20902) will pause at Navsari at 17:27 hrs, resuming departure at 17:29 hrs.
- The northbound service (20901) will begin halting there from August 24, stopping at 08:43 hrs and departing at 08:45 hrs.
Why Navsari Matters
Navsari becomes the 20th city in Gujarat to receive Vande Bharat connectivity—expanding access across the state and offering commuters from South Gujarat a faster, modern rail option.
Context & Responses
The revised halt follows earlier confirmation by Union Jal Shakti Minister and Navsari MP C.R. Patil—and reinforces India Railways’ agenda of enhancing convenience through semi-high-speed services. The move comes just two weeks after Valsad was added experimentally as a new stop on the same route, reflecting a broader trend of responsive regional connectivity upgrades.
