Rajputana-Malwa railway was about 720 miles long and was one of the oldest and most important tracks when India became independent. It started from Ahmadabad, ran into the Rajputana near Abu Road facing south-west, and then ran north-east to Bandikui, where one branch led to Agra and another to Delhi. It also had branches from Ajmer south to Nimach via Chittorgarh and from Phulera north-east to Rewari. The line was constructed between 1874 and 1881 with the exception of the chord last mentioned, which was a later extension. The Indian government assigned the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway Company (BB&CI) to work on the line since 1885. Before 1882, the Rajputana-Malwa Railway was known as the Rajputana State Railway. It was a metre gauge (1,000 mm or 3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) railway line which ran from Delhi to Indore Junction and to Ahmedabad via Chittorgarh. It was opened on 18 August 1876. The railway was renamed Rajputana-Malwa Railway when a new line from Ajmer to Khandwa via Chittorgarh, Ujjain and Mhow was added to it. On 9 March 1885, Jodhpur was connected to this network from Marwar Junction with metre gauge track and later became part of the Jodhpur - Bikaner Railway.
