The word "Udyan" means a garden in Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi and Kannada.

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.
