Mumbai – Bengaluru Vande Bharat Sleeper (27651 / 27652)

This is the longest route on the Vande Bharat Express network that we track, and the only Vande Bharat train that links Mumbai and Bengaluru directly. It also serves Pune, Solapur, Kalaburagi, Raichur, Guntakal and Anantapur overnight, which makes it useful well beyond the two big cities.

Timetable last checked 11 November 2026. The service started on 2 November 2026.

Fare

Vande Bharat Sleeper fares are all-inclusive and set per km: ₹2.40 per km in 3A before GST, rising to about ₹3.80 per km in 1A, with food included. Check the exact fare for your station pair on IRCTC. See the Sleeper fare guide.

Fare estimates by stop

These estimates use the Ministry of Railways per-kilometre rates (3A ₹2.40, 2A about ₹3.10, 1A ₹3.80), add 5% GST and apply the 400 km minimum. On the Delhi–Varanasi Sleeper the same method comes within ₹6 of IRCTC’s real fares. Always check IRCTC for the exact amount.

Mumbai to Pune shows the 400 km minimum at work: the 192 km trip is charged as 400 km, so it costs as much as a much longer journey. For Mumbai–Pune, a daytime Vande Bharat Express such as the Solapur train 22225/22226, which also stops at Pune, is the natural choice. Price any pair of stops with the Sleeper fare calculator.

Boarding after midnight? Your travel date is the day after the train’s start date. 27651 does not leave Mumbai CSMT on Tuesdays, so there is no 27651 at Solapur or Kalaburagi in the early hours of Wednesday. 27652 does not leave SMVT Bengaluru on Mondays, so there is no 27652 at Raichur or Solapur early on Tuesday. The running days checker counts from the first station for you.

At about 70 km/h on average over the whole run, this Vande Bharat Sleeper is slower than the daytime Vande Bharat Express trains, which average about 59 to 99 km/h on the routes we track. That suits an overnight train: the timings give a full night on board in each direction.

Booking rules for the Mumbai Bengaluru Vande Bharat Sleeper

The rules for every Vande Bharat Sleeper come from Railway Board Commercial Circular 03/2026:

• Confirmed tickets under the rules. No RAC and no partly confirmed ticket. On 11 November 2026, though, IRCTC showed waiting-list numbers on the New Delhi–Varanasi Sleeper 27422, so check the status IRCTC shows before you pay.
• No Tatkal quota. Book when general booking opens, 60 days ahead at 08:00 IST. The booking date calculator gives the date.
• Quotas: Ladies, Divyangjan, Senior Citizen and Duty Pass only, plus a reported emergency quota.
• Lower berths go automatically, where available, to men aged 60+ and women aged 45+.
• Food is included in the fare, and there is no fare concession.

Cancellation and refund

Vande Bharat Sleeper refunds are stricter than on the Vande Bharat Express Chair Car. If you cancel more than 72 hours before departure, 25% of the fare is kept. Between 72 hours and 8 hours before, 50% is kept. In the last 8 hours nothing is refunded.

On a full-route 3A ticket of about ₹2,807, cancelling early still costs about ₹702, and cancelling the day before costs about ₹1,404. For 27651, which leaves Mumbai CSMT at 20:10, the 8-hour cut-off is 12:10 on the day of departure. Find exact deadlines with the cancellation deadline tool and read the Vande Bharat refund rules.
