The 22119 / 22120 Mumbai CSMT–Madgaon Tejas Express is one of India's full-AC train fleet introduced by Indian Railways connecting Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Maharashtra and Madgaon Junction in Goa. It is currently being operated with 22119/22120 train numbers on five days a week basis but during monsoon season the train will run thrice a week. The train route was officially extended from Karmali to Madgaon Junction on 1 November 2022.[2] This is the first Tejas express to be equipped with 2 vistadome coaches on each end.

The coaches are manufactured at the Rail Coach Factory, Kapurthala.[3]
