Maharashtra Sampark Kranti Express is a bi-weekly train which runs between Bandra Terminus in Mumbai and Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi . This train was introduced as one of the Sampark Kranti trains which were announced by the then railways minister Nitish Kumar in 2004/2005 rail budget. It is a bi-weekly train.

Earlier on it would leave Bandra Terminus and after a halt at Borivali would go non stop until Hazrat Nizamuddin except for operational halts. Given the poor patronage to this train, the operational stops were changed to commercial stops. Thus, it now also halts at Vadodara Junction (for engine change) and Kota Junction (for crew change). It has only 3 halts either way (excluding starting and ending stations).
