The Rewari–Rohtak line is a railway line that connects Rewari and Rohtak in the Indian state of Haryana. Train services on this line started on 8 January 2013.

The railway line was the first new railway project in Haryana in thirty-three years. The project was sanctioned in 2004–2005 with an estimated cost of 4.76 billion (US$74 million) but the final cost was 6.02 billion (US$94 million). Construction began on 7 October 2007.

A new 75 km long railway line was constructed between Asthal Bohar station that lies on Rohtal-Delhi railway line and Rewari via Jhajjar. The construction required 124 bridges over canals, drains and irrigation water courses, 36 level crossings, 32 limited height subways and 4 bridges over roads. The length of the Rewari-Rohtak railway line is 81.3 km including 6.1 km from Rohtak to Asthal Bohar station.

There are six stations between Rohtak and Rewari. These are Asthal Bohar (station code ABO) at 6.1 km, Dighal (DGHL) at 20.4 km, Jhajjar (JHJ) at 37.1 km, Machhrauli (MHRI) at 49.0 km, Palhawas (PLHW) at 63.3 km and Gokalgarh (GKG) at 75.9 km.

Two DEMU trains (one of which runs on CNG) and one passenger train run on this line stopping at all stations en route. There is a demand that another train from Rohtak to Rewari be introduced that will return to Rohtak in the evening.

Two express trains connecting Chandigarh with Jaipur also run on this railway line.
