MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
(SHRI MANOJ SINHA)

(a)&(b) No, Madam. Presently, adequate number of train services are available from Bhuj/ Gandhidham (Kutch) in Gujarat to Mumbai area. Further, Introduction of a new train service from Kutch in Gujarat to Mumbai is not feasible, at present, due to operational and resource constraints which includes inadequate terminal/ maintenance facilities on major terminal stations of Kutch region viz.
