(Exact stoppages may vary as per final schedule notification.)

The service aims to improve connectivity for business travellers, tourists, and daily commuters between southern Rajasthan and Gujarat.

Railway authorities indicated that the Vande Bharat Express is likely to operate six days a week. The train is expected to depart from Udaipur in the early morning hours and reach Asarva (Ahmedabad) around midday. The return journey from Ahmedabad is likely to commence in the afternoon, arriving in Udaipur by evening.
