It is quite surprising that this being such a prestigious and important train in this route runs with only two 3AC coaches. Considering the current coach composition, i guess it already runs with 24 coaches, hence highly unlikely for any further additional coaches.
It would have been good if an additional 3AC coach could have been added.

It would mean scrapping of sl or gs coaches. Moreover it doesn't have a 1A coach also.

Yes agree with you. Purely from revenue perspective, removing a sleeper coach of 72 seats & replacing them with a third ac coach of 64 seats may give railways more income but at the cost of losing 8 seats which they can get in a sleeper coach. So s tricky situation to play around with coach composition.
