Raipur.  Further developing the infrastructure on various sections of the railway, the Indian Railways' timetable has been partially revised this year, effective January 1, 2026. The timetable is revised to save operating time by speeding up train operations from departure to arrival. Continuing these essential works will result in savings of 10 to 25 minutes for mail-express trains and 5 to 20 minutes for passenger trains (from departure to arrival) on various sections.

Similarly, in the new railway timetable to be implemented from January 1, 2026, the operating timings of 55 trains in the up and down direction running on or passing through South East Central Railway have been changed. The timetable at other stations will remain the same. Partial changes have been made in the timetable of 55 express and 08 passenger trains in the up and down direction trains of South East Central Railway and the timetable at other railway stations will remain the same.
