<br />
==Traction==<br />
<br />
Since March 2022, as the route is electrified, it is currently hauled by [[WAP-7]] pure AC locomotive of the [[Electric Loco Shed, Kalyan|Kalyan shed]]. From November 2009 till March 2022, it was hauled by [[Indian locomotive class WDM-3A|WDM-3A]] or [[WDP 4]], to save time in locomotive change, due to the rake sharing with [[Pune Solapur Intercity Express]], as the route after [[Daund Junction railway station|Daund Junction]] was not electrified.<br />
<br />
When the train was introduced back in 1988, it was hauled by WCM 1/2/5 DC locomotives till the mid-1990s as the section between [[Mumbai CSMT]] and [[Pune Junction railway station|Pune]] was under 1500 V DC traction. From the mid-1990s, it was hauled by [[Indian locomotive class WCAM 2/2P|WCAM 2/2P]] or [[Indian locomotive class WCAM 3|WCAM 3]] dual traction locomotives of the [[Kalyan Junction railway station|Kalyan]] shed till November 2009, when the rake sharing was initiated.<br />
<br />
At [[Karjat railway station|Karjat]], it gets two or three [[WAG-5]], [[Indian locomotive class WAG-7|WAG-7]], [[WCAM-2]] or [[Indian locomotive class WCAM 3|WCAM 3]] bankers of Kalyan shed to push the train on the ghat section between [[Karjat railway station]] and [[Lonavala railway station]], where the gradient is of 1 in 37.<br />
<br />
During the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], all passenger trains of [[Indian Railways]] were suspended for operating from 24 March 2020 due to [[COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India|lockdown]]. Indrayani Express resumed its operations from 9 October 2020. However, this time train used to be hauled by [[WAP-7]] Electric Locomotive since its rake sharing train [[Pune-Solapur Intercity Express]] was not permitted to resume operation.<br />
<br />
==Time table==<br />
<br />
The Indrayani Express is the first of six dedicated trains to leave [[Mumbai CSMT]] for [[Pune Junction railway station|Pune Junction]] and is the last train to return.<br />
<br />
22105 Indrayani Express leaves [[Mumbai CSMT]] every day at 05:40 hrs IST and reaches [[Pune Junction railway station|Pune Junction]] at 09:05 hrs IST.<br />
<br />
On return, the 22106 Indrayani Express leaves [[Pune Junction railway station|Pune Junction]] every day at 18:35 hrs IST and reaches [[Mumbai CSMT]] at 21:55 hrs IST.<br />
