The ministry released six separate notifications along with details of these services. The notifications included information regarding when the trains will operate regularly, their stoppages along the route, and the days they will operate. Railway authorities have also asked the concerned rail divisions to widely inform passengers about the start of these new services so that more people can benefit from them.

One of the major trains introduced is the 22-coach Nagercoil-Charlapalli Amrit Bharat Express, which will begin its regular commercial service on March 12.
