The 12393 / 12394 Sampoorna Kranti Superfast Express is a daily superfast express train of Indian Railways runs between Rajendra Nagar Terminal, Patna (Bihar) and New Delhi (Delhi). Introduced on 16 February 2002, the train covers a distance of 1,001 km (622 mi) in under 12 hours, making it one of the fastest daily-running non-AC trains in India.
The train has an average speed of 82.27 km/h (51.12 mph), comparable to that of the Rajdhani Express. Due to its Rajdhani-like speed with comparatively lower fares, it is popularly referred to as “Aam Janta Ki Rajdhani”. It receives high operational priority on its route and, as per its timetable, overtakes multiple scheduled passenger trains. Between Patna and New Delhi, it has only four scheduled stops: Kanpur Central, Mirzapur, Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction, and Ara Junction. .
