For Simhastha, the railway has created a mega crowd management plan: no shunting-no reversal plan, and Vande Bharat and MEMU trains will run at junctions.

To handle the record crowd of devotees expected to attend the Simhastha Mahakumbh in Ujjain in 2028, the railway department has developed a mega crowd management plan. The primary task is to operate trains quickly and safely. To reduce the time taken for train movement during Simhastha, trains will be operated on a "no-shunting-no-reversal" formula. Notably, special arrangements will be made at junctions like Ratlam, Nagda, and Ujjain.
