Vande Bharat in Telangana

Timetables last checked 12 November 2026. The route list matches the Ministry of Railways list of July 2026.

All Vande Bharat routes in Telangana

Every train in the table runs six days a week and finishes its journey the same day. Three of the five routes leave Telangana for Andhra Pradesh, one crosses Andhra Pradesh into Karnataka, and one runs north into Maharashtra.

Secunderabad, Kacheguda or Hyderabad: which station?

Hyderabad’s Vande Bharat trains use two stations, Secunderabad Jn and Kacheguda, and none uses Hyderabad Deccan. Check the station code on your ticket before you set out.

• Secunderabad Jn (SC): the Vande Bharat hub of Telangana. Eight of the ten trains start or end here: both Visakhapatnam pairs, the Tirupati pair and the Nagpur pair. Every train to Vizag, Tirupati or Nagpur uses Secunderabad.
• Kacheguda (KCG): the station for the Bengaluru Vande Bharat train, 20703/20704 to Yesvantpur Jn. Kacheguda is a separate station inside Hyderabad city, not a platform of Secunderabad. Source: Sakshi Post
• Hyderabad Deccan (HYB): no Vande Bharat train in our list starts, ends or stops here, so for a Vande Bharat Express you go to Secunderabad or Kacheguda instead.

So the simple rule is: Bengaluru means Kacheguda; everything else means Secunderabad.

Telangana stations with the most Vande Bharat trains

Counting the ten train services above, these Telangana stations are served most often:

• Secunderabad Jn (SC): 8 trains, on four of the five routes.
• Warangal (WL) and Khammam (KMT): 4 each, on both Secunderabad–Visakhapatnam pairs.
• Kacheguda (KCG) and Mahbubnagar (MBNR): 2 each, on the Yesvantpur train.
• Nalgonda (NLDA) and Miryalaguda (MRGA): 2 each, on the Tirupati train.
• Kazipet Jn (KZJ), Ramagundam (RDM), Manchiryal (MCI) and Sirpur Kagaznagar (SKZR): 2 each, on the Nagpur train.

That makes eleven Telangana stations with at least one Vande Bharat stop. Warangal and Kazipet sit on different Vande Bharat routes: Warangal for Vijayawada and Vizag, Kazipet for Ramagundam and Nagpur. Use the trains between stations tool to see every option for your pair.

Short trips within Telangana

You can also use these trains for shorter hops inside the state, booking only the part you need:

The Warangal and Khammam pairs give the most choice, with two trains each way every day except when one of them has its day off.

Same-day trips by Vande Bharat from Hyderabad

On the Visakhapatnam, Tirupati and Yesvantpur routes one train leaves Hyderabad early in the morning and another comes back the same evening, so day trips work to stations around the middle of the route:

A same-day return to the far end does not work: the return train leaves Tirupati and Visakhapatnam 40 minutes after the morning train arrives. Plan other combinations with the same-day return planner.

Booking a Vande Bharat Express in Telangana

All five Telangana routes are daytime Chair Car trains with two classes, CC (Chair Car) and EC (Executive Chair Car); see CC vs EC and the seat guide for which seats to pick. There is no Vande Bharat Sleeper running to or from Telangana yet. Book on IRCTC when booking opens, 60 days ahead at 08:00 IST, or try Tatkal at 10:00 IST the day before; the full steps are in the booking guide, and the ticket price guide explains how the fare is built. Choose a meal or No Food when booking; the food guide covers what is served. If your plans change, check the Vande Bharat cancellation charges before you cancel, and the PNR and running status guide on the day.
