The 15293/15294 Muzaffarpur–Charlapalli Amrit Bharat Express is India's 15th Non-AC Superfast Amrit Bharat Express train, which runs across the states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra & Telangana connecting Muzaffarpur Junction in Muzaffarpur and Charlapalli in Hyderabad.
Overview The train was originally introduced in 2023 as a weekly special service with a mixed coach composition consisting of AC 2-tier, AC 3-tier, AC 3E (economy), sleeper class, and general unreserved coaches to cater to the festive rush. However, shortly after its introduction, the train gained popularity due to the lack of a direct train connection between Muzaffarpur (MFP) and Secunderabad, increasing demand for regular service. After operating for nearly two years as a ToD special train, it was included in the Railway Time Table (TAG) 2025. In October 2025, the Indian Railways announced that the service would be upgraded to the Amrit Bharat Express. Accordingly, on 26 October 2025, the special train numbered 05293/05294, which had mixed coach composition, was converted to Amrit Bharat Express coaches and assigned a new permanent train number: 155293/155294. In TAG 2026 15293 Spped Up by 45 Minutes and 15294 Speed up By 60 Minutes
