Introduced as Trivandrum - New Bongaigaon express on January 30th, 1984 and was extended to Guwahati in a short while. Until the introduction of the Himsagar express, this train had the longest run in Indian railways. In later years, more trains sharing the time slot were introduced between Howrah/Guwahati and Bangalore/Cochin/Howrah.
