Dr. Ambedkar Nagar - Omkareshwar Road Passenger was a metre-gauge passenger train of the Indian Railways, which was running between Dr. Ambedkar Nagar in Madhya Pradesh and Omkareshwar Road in Madhya Pradesh. It has been closed down since 30 January 2023 as the track between the two stations is being converted to Broad Gauge.

The last train on the 150-year-old metre gauge rail line associated with the heritage railways in western Madhya Pradesh was flagged off on 30 January 2023 as authorities halted train movement on the stretch indefinitely to facilitate its conversion into broad gauge, an official said.^[1]

This was the last surviving metre-gauge train of the Akola–Ratlam line in Madhya Pradesh. After undergoing gauge conversion, it will provide connectivity between Indore and Southern Indian states.^[2]^[3]^[4] ^[5]^[6]^[7] ^[8]
