Nagpur – Secunderabad (Hyderabad) Vande Bharat Express (20101 / 20102)

Timetable last checked 12 November 2026 (data from 11 November 2026). Fares checked 12 November 2026.

Train summary

Which Hyderabad station? The Vande Bharat train from Nagpur ends at Secunderabad Jn (SC), Hyderabad’s twin city and the main station for most Vande Bharat trains in Telangana. It does not go on to Hyderabad Deccan (Nampally) or Kacheguda, so if you search IRCTC for “Hyderabad”, pick Secunderabad Jn as the station. In the other direction, 20102 starts at Secunderabad; there is no boarding point elsewhere in the city.

Which Nagpur station? This train uses Nagpur (NGP), the main station in the city centre. The Pune – Nagpur Vande Bharat uses Ajni (AJNI) instead, a different station in south Nagpur, so do not mix the two up if you plan to combine the trains.

What kind of train this is

The Nagpur to Secunderabad Vande Bharat Express is a daytime Chair Car train. There are no berths, only reclining seats: CC has 3+2 seating and EC has wider 2+2 seats. See CC vs EC and the seat guide for layouts and window seats.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the service virtually on 16 September 2024, with regular runs starting that week. At launch the train had 18 chair car coaches and 2 executive coaches, with 1,440 seats, and the announcement gave the distance as 585 km; the timetable distance used for fares and on this page is 578 km.

The 20-coach rake did not last. Average occupancy after launch was about 34% (33.81% on 20101 and 33.87% on 20102), and from 19 February 2025 Indian Railways cut the train to 8 coaches: 7 chair cars and 1 executive car. Source: The Hans India We have not seen an official notice changing the coach count since, so check the coach position on IRCTC or NTES if it matters to you.

Nagpur Secunderabad Vande Bharat boarding guide: every stop

• Sevagram (SEGM). 20101 arrives at 05:43 and leaves at 05:45, 43 min and 77 km after Nagpur, with 6 h 30 min still to go to Secunderabad. In the other direction, 20102 calls here at 19:03.
• Chandrapur (CD). 20101 arrives at 07:03 and leaves at 07:05, 2 h 3 min and 198 km out of Nagpur, with 5 h 10 min to go. 20102 calls here at 17:43.
• Balharshah (BPQ). Only 14 km past Chandrapur. 20101 arrives at 07:20 and leaves at 07:25, 2 h 20 min and 212 km out of Nagpur, with 4 h 50 min to go. 20102 calls here at 17:25.
• Sirpur Kagaznagar (SKZR). The first stop in Telangana going south. 20101 arrives at 08:09 and leaves at 08:10, 3 h 9 min and 281 km out of Nagpur, with 4 h 5 min to go. 20102 calls here at 16:24.

To board at an intermediate station, search from that station on IRCTC, or change the boarding point of an existing e-ticket once, up to the final chart. See the ticket change guide. For the other Vande Bharat trains that serve Kazipet, Warangal and Secunderabad, see the Telangana Vande Bharat guide.

Can you go and return the same day?

Not between the two end cities.

• From Nagpur: 20101 reaches Secunderabad at 12:15 and 20102 leaves at 13:00. That is only 45 minutes, enough to change platforms and no more. A Hyderabad trip on this Vande Bharat train needs at least one night there.
• From Secunderabad: 20102 reaches Nagpur at 20:20, and 20101 leaves Nagpur at 05:00 the next morning. You can sleep in Nagpur and be back in Secunderabad at 12:15 the next day, which works for a short overnight visit.
• Nagpur to Chandrapur and back: this one does work. 20101 reaches Chandrapur at 07:03 and 20102 leaves Chandrapur at 17:45, so you get 10 h 42 min there. Balharshah works the same way, from 07:20 to 17:30.

Both trains must run on the same day, and neither runs on Tuesday. The same-day return planner checks this for any pair of stations.

Nagpur to Hyderabad Vande Bharat ticket price

Fares are for one adult, General quota, with the meal, checked 12 November 2026. They are IRCTC fares as recorded by erail.in, and we kept a figure only where it agreed with erail’s own calculation from the official fare rules, so confirm on IRCTC before you pay. We could not confirm fares to or from the intermediate stops; they are lower than the full Nagpur–Secunderabad fare, and IRCTC shows the exact figure for your pair.

The afternoon train from Secunderabad costs ₹150 more in CC and ₹180 more in EC than the morning train, over the same 578 km. Since the base fare is set by distance and class, the gap most likely comes from the catering charge for the meals served on each run, which IRCTC shows in the fare breakdown when you book. Choosing No Food lowers the price by the meal charge on either train. See the food guide for what is served.

The fare is built from a base fare (1.4 times Shatabdi in CC and 1.3 times in EC), reservation and superfast charges, GST and the optional meal. Source: PIB There is no dynamic fare, so the price does not rise as seats fill up. Source: PIB, February 2026 See how Vande Bharat ticket prices work or estimate a station pair with the fare calculator.

CC or EC to Hyderabad? EC costs ₹1,255 more than CC on 20101 and ₹1,285 more on 20102. On a seven-hour daytime trip the wider 2+2 seat is more comfortable, but CC is the usual choice. With only one EC coach reported since February 2025, EC is the smaller pool of seats, so book it early if you want it.

Booking the Nagpur Secunderabad Vande Bharat train

Booking for 20101 and 20102 opens on IRCTC 60 days before the journey, at 08:00 IST, not counting the journey day. For a journey on Monday 11 January 2027, booking opens on Thursday 12 November 2026 at 08:00. Do not pick a Tuesday: the train does not run, and IRCTC will not show it. Find the opening date for your trip with the booking date calculator.

If CC is full, look at EC before taking a waiting-list ticket. A ticket still waitlisted when the chart is made is cancelled and refunded automatically, less ₹60 clerkage plus GST (₹63) per passenger.

Tatkal opens at 10:00 IST the day before the train leaves its first station: the day before at Nagpur for 20101, and the day before at Secunderabad for 20102. A confirmed Tatkal ticket gets no refund if you cancel. IRCTC shows the Tatkal fare when you book; see the Tatkal guide.

The booking guide covers IRCTC step by step, including quotas, waiting lists and how to choose a seat.

Refund if you cancel a Nagpur Secunderabad Vande Bharat ticket

The refund bands are counted from the train’s scheduled departure at its first station, so a passenger boarding 20101 at Kazipet still works from the 05:00 departure from Nagpur. For a confirmed ticket, per passenger, with 5% GST on the charge, using the 72, 24 and 8-hour bands the Ministry of Railways announced in March 2026:

• 20101 in CC (₹1,375): cancel more than 72 hours before and you get back about ₹1,186; 72 to 24 hours before, about ₹1,014; 24 to 8 hours before, about ₹653; less than 8 hours before, nothing.
• 20101 in EC (₹2,630): more than 72 hours before, about ₹2,378; 72 to 24 hours, about ₹1,940; 24 to 8 hours, about ₹1,249; less than 8 hours, nothing.
• 20102 in CC (₹1,525): more than 72 hours before, about ₹1,336; 72 to 24 hours, about ₹1,125; 24 to 8 hours, about ₹724; less than 8 hours, nothing.
• 20102 in EC (₹2,810): more than 72 hours before, about ₹2,558; 72 to 24 hours, about ₹2,072; 24 to 8 hours, about ₹1,335; less than 8 hours, nothing.

IRCTC’s published refund rules still show the older 48, 12 and 4-hour cut-offs, so the IRCTC cancellation screen is final. The Vande Bharat cancellation charges guide explains both sets of bands, and the refund calculator and cancellation deadline tool give your own figure and clock times.

When is the chart prepared for the Nagpur Secunderabad Vande Bharat?

• 20101 leaves Nagpur at 05:00, so its first chart is prepared by 19:00 the evening before (10 hours before departure).
• 20102 leaves Secunderabad at 13:00, so its first chart is prepared by 20:00 the evening before.

Both trains have their first chart ready the night before travel, so you know your coach and seat, or whether a waiting-list ticket cleared, before you go to bed. The chart preparation time tool works it out for any date.
