The '''Jan Shatabdi Express''' ({{lit|People's Century Express}}) is a more affordable and economical version of the [[Shatabdi Express]]''.'' The word 'Jan' refers to common people. Being an economical version of the Shatabdi Express, it provides the passenger with Air Conditioned Chair Car, Second Class Seating and Unreserved classes. Though its priority is less than that of the trains like [[Rajdhani Express]], [[Shatabdi Express]] and [[Duronto Express]], it enjoys a greater priority than the Mail, Express and the Superfast Express trains of Indian Railways. The maximum permissible speed of this train is 130&nbsp;km/h.<br />
<br />
