The Delhi–Jaipur line connects Jaipur city with Delhi, the capital of India along the Jaipur railway division.[1]

There are about 22 trains connecting Delhi to Jaipur, fastest one, ADI – SJ Rajdhani taking 4 hours 25 minutes. and Delhi–Jaipur Double Decker taking 4 hours 30 minutes.[citation needed]

The route also faces delays in normal running during winter period because of fog. Throughout the route, there are two parallel railway lines running, helping in swift movement of trains without any delays.[citation needed]
