Mumbai CSMT–Hazrat Nizamuddin Rajdhani Express, with train numbers 22221 and 22222 (also known as Central Railway (CR) Rajdhani Express and Push Pull Rajdhani) is a daily train service of Rajdhani class operated by Central Railway between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Hazrat Nizamuddin.

Proposal for a new Rajdhani service from inner Maharashtra was in demand for some time, especially since Mumbai Rajdhani and August Kranti Rajdhani serve only the Mumbai area. This demand was further put down by the MP of Nashik Hemant Godse, after which an inprinciple approval from the Railway Minister Piyush Goyal was given in December 2018.

The challenge to running a Rajdhani service on this route was the Thull Ghat between Kasara and Igatpuri, for which every train would stop at both stations for banker attachment and detachment, an arrangement that wasted a significant amount of time and which remained a barrier for a long time. Trials were conducted by RDSO and Central Railway of using two WAP7 locomotives with a 20 LHB car rake in a pushpull arrangement. Several changes were made to accomodate the Rajdhani service, including changing the timings of several express and suburban trains and train crew being trained to work till Jalgaon, instead of Igatpuri. Even before the launch, seats for the first service were fully booked in 5 hours.

The Rajdhani service was launched on 19 January 2019 as a biweekly service, with much fanfare at Mumbai CSMT, Nashik Road and Jalgaon Junction. Service was increased from biweekly to 4 days a week, citing the popularity of the service.

On 19 January 2021, on its 2nd running anniversary, Central Railway and Indian Railways increased 22221/22222 Rajdhani frequency from 4 days a week to daily basis.

22221 Rajdhani leaves Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus at 16:00 daily and arrives Hazrat Nizamuddin at 09:55 every second day.

22222 Rajdhani leaves Hazrat Nizamuddin at 16:55 daily and arrives Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus at 11:15 every second day.

CR Rajdhani Express runs with an average speed of 86 km/h.
