Railways approves Extension of Daily Ludhiana-Jakhal Passenger Train up to Jind

Published: Aug 03, 2026

By TIOLCorplaws News Service

NEW DELHI, AUG 03, 2026: IN a significant step towards improving regional rail connectivity, Indian Railways has approved the extension of Train No. 54053/54054 Ludhiana-Jakhal Daily Passenger up to Jind station under Northern Railway. The decision will provide direct rail connectivity between Ludhiana and Jind, benefiting daily commuters, students, office-goers, traders and passengers travelling between Punjab and Haryana.

Direct Ludhiana-Jind Passenger Connectivity

With the approved extension, Train No. 54054 will now operate from Ludhiana to Jind, while Train No. 54053 will run from Jind to Ludhiana, replacing the earlier Ludhiana-Jakhal operation.

The train's journey distance will increase from 128 km to 200 km, providing uninterrupted passenger connectivity between the two important cities.

Commercial Stoppages at All Stations Between Jakhal and Jind

The extended portion of the service will include commercial stoppages at all stations between Jakhal and Jind, ensuring improved accessibility for passengers residing in towns and villages along the route.

The extension is expected to strengthen regional mobility by providing better rail connectivity to intermediate stations while improving access to employment, education, healthcare and commercial centres.

Enhanced Passenger Convenience Across Punjab and Haryana

The extended service will improve travel convenience by eliminating the need for passengers to change trains at Jakhal for onward journeys to Jind. The project will facilitate smoother and more seamless rail travel across the region while enhancing connectivity between important urban and rural centres.

The approval reflects Indian Railways' continued commitment to improving passenger services and expanding regional rail connectivity through demand-based operational enhancements that deliver greater convenience and accessibility for passengers.
