The 12957 / 12958 Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani Express is a Rajdhani Express train on the Indian Railways broad-gauge track network, connecting Ahmedabad and New Delhi, a distance of approximately 933.5 km. The train was one of the last Rajdhani Express trains to be introduced in the 20th century, making its inaugural run in 1997 after the erstwhile metre-gauge lines between Ahmedabad and Delhi through Gujarat, Rajasthan and Haryana were converted to broad gauge. Since it was introduced in the 50th year of India's independence, it was named 'Swarna Jayanti' (golden jubilee) Rajdhani Express.
