The 11301 / 11302 Udyan Express is an express train belonging to Indian Railways that runs between Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Bangalore in India. It operates as train number 11301 from Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus to Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna railway station (Bengaluru City) and as train number 11302 in the reverse direction serving the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh.

It is named as the Udyan Express since Bangalore is known as the Garden City of India dotted with many Public Gardens and parks such as Lalbagh Botanical Garden, Cubbon Park, etc. and various other parks almost 1 park between every 4 roads and other large parks in every locality maintained by the BBMP and also there are private gardens. The word "Udyan" means a garden in Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi and Kannada. The train was previously numbered as 16529/30 Udyan Express and was renumbered to 11301/11302 when the timetable for July 2013 came into effect. This train now shares its rake with the Siddheshwar Express & operational control is now with Central Railway.

This train was started in the year 1983, when the Guntakal–Bangalore (GTL–SBC) route underwent gauge conversion from metre gauge to broad gauge. Prior to this, people that desired a Mumbai–Bangalore train journey had to change trains at Guntakal and travel via Dharmavaram to Bangalore on metre gauge express trains. The train takes 19 hours to complete its journey from Mumbai-Bengaluru/Bengaluru-Mumbai. It is one of the most preferred trains that run on this route

When this train was started, it had the numbers 129 and 130 for the Bombay VT to Bangalore City down route, and the reverse (up) route respectively. When the railways handed out 4 digit train numbers in the early 1990s, the train got the number 6529 and 6530.
