except three pf i.e. 7,8,9 all can accomodate 24 coachers... CSTM have 18 pfs... out of which 7 are used by locals... so remaining 8 can accomodate 24 coachers... so not a constraint i guess...
Yes agree. Still runs with only 2 gen coaches. Has only one 3AC and one 2AC. Its running time can easily be reduced.
In fact passenger associations in Western India had written to railways and also suggested the areas where it can be speeded up. But nothing came out of the same.

There are some trains which run full throughout the year but some constraint totally blocks a future augmentation like for eg. VSG HWH Amaravati express.
Yes its the platform contraint, this train which doesn't has base in CSTM departs from pf -8/9 which has a maximum capacity of 18 similarly hyd exp/hussain sagar... 10/11 can accomdate just 13-14 couched rakes... 12-13 accomdates 20 couches and the remaining ie 14-15-16-17-18 can accomdate 24 couchers which are already occupied by huge no. Of trains. Hence not possible to shift trains to these pfs just to increase no. Of coaches
Yes thats why even chalukya is suffering today ...after extension daily 100s of PQWL to several stations of KK remain unconfirmed and still no extra coach is still added DR terminus's pf-7 can accomdate max 20 and pf-8 max 18
