The 12957 / 12958 Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani Express is a Rajdhani Express train on the Indian Railways broad-gauge track network, connecting Sabarmati and New Delhi, a distance of approximately 929 km. The train was one of the Rajdhani Express trains to be introduced in the 20th century, making its inaugural run on 1 January 1998 after the erstwhile metre-gauge lines between Sabarmati 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.
