If you are searching for a Miraj to Kolhapur train, you want a departure that fits your plan and some confidence that it will run. Timetables change, special trains come and go, and listing sites disagree. So this guide shows what a public listing showed on Sunday, 25 October 2026, points out where other sources differ and explains how to confirm a train before you leave home.
We are not Indian Railways. We cannot see live running status or seat availability, and we do not give you a final timetable. We give you a dated starting point.
Key Takeaways
- The listing site erail.in, opened on 25 October 2026, showed 19 trains between Miraj Junction and Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Terminus Kolhapur. Another site, ConfirmTkt, showed a smaller list in its own snapshot dated 13 October 2026, so counts differ by source and date.
- Journey times in the erail listing run from about 55 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes, depending on the train.
- The distance used by erail for its fare table is 47 km. Another listing says 48 km. Treat it as roughly 47 to 48 km.
- erail’s ordinary mail and express fare table for 47 km showed Rs 30 general, Rs 45 for second sitting and Rs 140 for sleeper, with higher classes costing more. Special trains can cost much more.
- The listing includes unreserved-style DMU services and reserved express trains, and special trains that may not run every day. The listing did not show running days in text we could read.
- The Kolhapur-Pune Vande Bharat Express (20673/20674) serves Miraj, according to Wikipedia and a 2024 railway press note, but its running days can change.
- Confirm any train on the official National Train Enquiry System (NTES) or IRCTC before you travel.
How Many Trains Run From Miraj to Kolhapur?
It depends on the source and the date. On 25 October 2026 the erail listing counted 19 trains. ConfirmTkt’s page, dated 13 October 2026, said tickets were available on 7 trains for that date. Another listing showed 6 daily trains in an older view. These numbers differ because some trains do not run every day, some are special services, and each site filters in its own way.
Why Do Listing Sites Disagree?
They may count different train types, include or exclude specials, and show different dates. A page that shows tickets for one date shows only the trains that run on that date. That is a smaller number than the full set of trains that run on some days of the week.
What Is the Miraj to Kolhapur Train Timetable?
The table below is a sample taken from the erail.in Miraj to Kolhapur listing on 25 October 2026. We kept the departure from Miraj, the arrival at Kolhapur and the listed travel time for each train. We did not copy the running days, because the page did not show them in a form we could read, so we cannot tell you which days each train runs.
| Train (number) | Departs Miraj | Arrives Kolhapur | Listed time |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSMT KOP SPL (01417) | 01:50 | 04:20 | 2h 30m |
| KLBG KOP SPL (01452) | 03:25 | 05:40 | 2h 15m |
| Pune KOP Special (01023) | 03:30 | 05:08 | 1h 38m |
| Mahalaxmi Express (17411) | 05:40 | 07:20 | 1h 40m |
| STR-KOP DMU (71423) | 08:10 | 09:30 | 1h 20m |
| Maharashtra Express (11040) | 09:50 | 11:25 | 1h 35m |
| Dikshabhumi Express (11046) | 10:40 | 12:20 | 1h 40m |
| Kolhapur Express (12148) | 12:05 | 13:30 | 1h 25m |
| ADI KOP Express (11049) | 13:10 | 14:40 | 1h 30m |
| MRJ-KOP DMU (71425) | 14:40 | 15:50 | 1h 10m |
| MRJ-KOP DMU (71427) | 17:05 | 18:15 | 1h 10m |
| Kolhapur Vande Bharat (20674) | 18:45 | 19:40 | 0h 55m |
| Koyna Express (11029) | 18:55 | 20:25 | 1h 30m |
| MRJ-KOP DMU (71429) | 22:00 | 23:10 | 1h 10m |
The full listing had more trains than this sample. Times can change, and the listing is a third-party site, not Indian Railways. Use this as a guide and check the official source. One cross-check against an Indian Railways source: the mail and express train list on indianrail.gov.in, retrieved on 26 October 2026, shows 11029 Koyna Express ending at Kolhapur (C Shahumharaj T) at 20:25, the same arrival time as the erail row above.
It also shows 11030 starting from Kolhapur at 07:55. That page is undated and lists only the origin departure and the final arrival, so it does not confirm the Miraj times, fares or running days.
IRCTC cross-check, retrieved 26 October 2026 at about 1:36 AM IST. We ran the Miraj Jn. (MRJ) to Kolhapur (S C Shahu Mah T, KOP) search for Monday 26 October 2026 on the IRCTC train search page. It listed 8 trains: 01452 at 03:25 to 05:40, 11419 Pune Kolhapur Express at 03:30 to 05:08, 17411 Mahalaxmi Express at 05:40 to 07:20, 11040 Maharashtra Express at 09:50 to 11:25, 22155 at 12:55 to 14:15, 11049 at 13:10 to 14:40, 17415 Haripriya Express at 15:10 to 16:35 and 11029 Koyna Express at 18:55 to 20:25. Six of these match rows in the table above. Two differences: IRCTC lists 11419 Pune Kolhapur Express at 03:30 to 05:08, and the erail row at those times is numbered 01023 Pune KOP Special. We do not know whether they are the same service. IRCTC also listed 22155 (12:55 to 14:15) and 17415 (15:10 to 16:35), which are not in our erail sample. IRCTC did not list the DMU services, 01417, 11046, 12148 or 20674 Kolhapur Vande Bharat for that date, so this check neither confirms nor rules out those rows. We did not open IRCTC’s fare screens.
For 11030, the other direction, IRCTC’s dated search showed a Kolhapur departure of 08:25 on 26 October 2026. The undated Indian Railways list above shows 07:55. The IRCTC result is for that one date and we do not know the date of the other list, so check NTES or IRCTC for your travel day. We did not check what the run-day letters on IRCTC mean, so we make no claim about which days these trains run. The IRCTC page itself says to check the NTES website or app for actual time before boarding.
What Are the Special Trains?
The listing included trains with numbers starting with 01, which are normally special services. Special trains can have different fares, different stops and different running dates from regular ones. If you plan around a special train, confirm that it is running on your date.
Which Train Is Fastest?
In this listing the Vande Bharat (20674) showed the shortest time at 55 minutes. The DMU services showed 1 hour 10 minutes, and some express trains took 1 hour 25 to 1 hour 40 minutes. These are listed times, not guarantees.
What Is the Miraj to Kolhapur Train Fare?
erail’s table for the Miraj to Kolhapur train gave the mail and express fare for 47 km, as listed on 25 October 2026:
| Class | Fare (Rs, adult) |
|---|---|
| General | 30 |
| Second sitting (2S) | 45 |
| Sleeper (SL) | 140 |
| Chair car (CC) | 260 |
| AC 3-tier (3A) | 495 |
| AC 2-tier (2A) | 700 |
| AC first (1A) | 1,165 |
These are base-style listed fares for ordinary express trains. They are not a quote. Special trains can be higher, and ConfirmTkt’s page for a special train showed sleeper at Rs 365 and AC 3-tier at Rs 985 in its 13 October 2026 snapshot. Reservation charges, dynamic pricing or supplementary charges may apply. Check the fare on IRCTC when you book.
Why Do Fares Differ Between Trains?
Special trains and premium services can be priced differently from regular mail and express trains. The Vande Bharat fare is not in the table above because we did not find a verified fare for the Miraj to Kolhapur leg, and we will not guess it.
How Far Is Miraj From Kolhapur by Train?
The erail fare table is built on 47 km, and another listing says 48 km for the same pair of stations. The difference is small, and we cannot say which is more exact. Plan on roughly 47 to 48 km and a journey of a little over an hour on faster services.
Does the Vande Bharat Stop at Miraj?
According to Wikipedia’s article on the Kolhapur-Pune Vande Bharat, the 20673/20674 service connects Kolhapur, Miraj, Sangli, Kirloskarvadi, Karad, Satara and Pune and runs three days a week. A Punekar News report of 14 September 2024 quoting the railway said 20674 would run from Pune on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, leaving Pune at 14:15 and reaching Kolhapur at 19:40, with halts including Miraj. Those are 2024 details. We could not confirm the running days for today, so check before you plan around it.
Can You Use the Vande Bharat for a Short Miraj to Kolhapur Trip?
Possibly, if it runs on your date and seats are available for that segment. We did not verify whether short-segment bookings are open, so check IRCTC.
How Do You Book a Miraj to Kolhapur Train?
You can book reserved trains on IRCTC. For unreserved services, such as some DMU trains, tickets are normally bought at the station or through the railway’s unreserved ticketing app, but we have not verified the current process, so check the railway’s own pages.
- Open IRCTC or NTES and enter Miraj Junction (MRJ) and Kolhapur (KOP).
- Pick the date and compare the trains that run on that date.
- Check the class and fare on the booking page.
- Read any special-train notes.
- Check the running status on the day.
What Should You Know Before You Go?
Station names differ across sites. The Kolhapur terminus appears as “C Sahumaharaj T Kolhapur”, “Kolhapur CSMT” and similar forms. Make sure you pick the Kolhapur terminus (code KOP) and Miraj Junction (code MRJ).
What Should You Check for Each Train?
Check three things on the official source before you commit. First, whether the train runs on your date, because many entries in a listing run only on some days. Second, the class and fare for that train, because the fare table we quoted is for ordinary mail and express services and special trains can differ. Third, the platform and any late notices on the day.
A Miraj to Kolhapur train that looks perfect in a third-party list can still be cancelled or retimed, so treat the list as a shortlist and the official page as the answer.
What Should You Do Next?
- Choose two or three trains from the table that fit your plan.
- Confirm each one on NTES or IRCTC for your date.
- Check the fare and class.
- Leave extra time on the day.
- Check running status before you go.
