This is a list of India's fastest long-distance trains by commercial speed (i.e., total distance covered divided by total time taken, including scheduled stoppages). The criterion for entry into this list is a commercial speed of at least 70 km/h. Note that speed is computed only over the entire length of a train's run (in both directions), and not for parts thereof. Where a train takes multiple routes (e.g., the Howrah Rajdhani), only the fastest is taken into consideration. All data is taken from the official website of the Indian Railways. (Note: the website gives "chargeable distance"[1], which on some routes, e.g. the Konkan Railway[1] and the Ambala–Kalka section[2], is higher than the actual distance. This may lead to the impression that the speed of certain trains is higher than it actually is.)
