That is golden goose section for bus lobby, they don't want to loose it. Even railway officials clearly saying that they are not considering this route for high speed train.
Present trains have just too many halts. A mixed duronto (skipping SSNP) would take about 19 hrs while an ac duronto would take 17-18 hrs. GTL-SBC track has too many PSRs as it is hilly region (MG was thought to be optimal, then). They did not alter the alignment much to improve curves and inclines.
As is presently being planned, Mumbai-HYB and HYB-SBC HSR would take Mumbai-SBC time down up to 8 hrs. Any ways, that is at least 8 yrs away, and only if BJP rule continues.

Mumbai Delhi 1400 kms in 17 hours - not just in Rajdhani but in Garib Rath SF also. But it has just 6 stops enroute. 1100 kms Mumbai Bangalore has more than 30 stops.
So, a good SF should be run with limited stops - only at PUNE SUR KLBG RC GTL DMM.
After completion of DVG CTA TK line, a SF can run with stops at TK CTA DVG UBL BGM MRJ PUNE.

HAS SUR SF covers YPR SUR in 11.5 hours. Add 7 hours for SUR LTT. SO even today, if railways are willing, SF can run to cover the distance at 18.5-19 hours.
