Panchavati Express turns 50

The Free Press Journal - Mumbai

|

November 03, 2025

One of Central Railway's most iconic trains, the Panchavati Express, completed 50 years of service on Nov 1, 2025.

- FPJ News Network

Launched on Nov 1, 1975, the train has been a lifeline for thousands of daily commuters travelling between Mumbai, Nashik, Manmad, Lasalgaon and Niphad. Known for its punctuality, speed and safety, it continues to be the preferred choice for passengers even today.

Born of necessity

Introduced to manage the rising passenger load on the Mumbai-Nashik route, the train was named after Panchavati, the sacred site near Nashik where Lord Ram is believed to have stayed during his exile—creating an instant emotional connection with the region.
