Once upon a time, there was a great king called Vikramaditya - the WAM-4 - Shashank

I somewhat agree with your point. But there are always 2 locos available for Gatimaan (out of #30014, #30007 and #30086) at NZM ETS. Rest all passenger locos are 130 kmph fit, hence no issues of loco availability for Rajdhani and Shatabdi. So I don't think this particular loco is "being" wasted with Poorbiya, although I'd agree that it is not "optimal" utilisation of resources.

sir which one is fastest 30086 ya 30164?

The kya that Bhai!!!! They have got a sense of humour! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Both are 200 kmph capable, but due to aerodynamic shape, #30164 "should" perform better (although air resistance is not considerable for such low speeds ). Aerodynamic shape is significant only if operational speeds are beyond 250 kmph.
