Multiple rescue teams and residents were extracting injured passengers from the wreckage.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy asked authorities to send as many ambulances as possible to the crash site and ordered other relief measures.
Train crashes are common in India and are often blamed mostly on human error or outdated signaling equipment.
