Rs 1760666339 in a year..., This is India's highest earning train, not Shatabdi, Duronto or Vande Bharat, it is..., runs from... Indian Railways is a lifeline for millions of people across India. It is the fourth largest railway network in the world and plays a huge role in keeping the country connected. Every single day, thousands of trains run across the country, carrying millions of passengers to work, school, vacations, family visits, and more. On average, Indian Railways runs about 13,000 passenger trains daily. From superfast trains like Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto, and Vande Bharat Express, to regular mail, passenger, local trains, and DMUs, there's a train for everyone's needs i.e. from long-distance travelers to daily commuters. While Indian Railways earns a big part of its income from goods and cargo, a huge portion also comes from passenger trains and the tickets brought to travel in them. And with so many trains hitting the tracks, one might wonder as to which train brings in the most money for the Indian Railways? Surprisingly, it's not the modern Vande Bharat or the famous Shatabdi. The highest earning train is the Rajdhani Express, specifically the one that runs between Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi and KSR Bengaluru City Junction. According to data available at the Indian Railways, this Bengaluru Rajdhani Express earned a whopping Rs. 176 crore (Rs. 1,76,06,66,339) in the financial year 2022-23. That is over 1.76 billion rupees in just one year and during that time, around 509,510 passengers traveled on this train. This train is part of the Rajdhani Express family — known for speed, comfort, and priority on the tracks. It connects India's capital with major cities, and in this case, it links Delhi to the tech hub of Bengaluru. What makes the Rajdhani express so successful? People prefer it because it is fast, comfortable, and punctual, and many business travelers and professionals use it regularly. So, while new trains like Vande Bharat may be the face of modern travel, the Bengaluru Rajdhani Express quietly continues to be the top earner, showing the value of reliable service, great routes, and passenger trust.
