The extention of JP SC to Kurnool is purely with SCR as already Railway board has approved. SCR might have forwarded the proposal with consent of JP to Rly board As the rake is fom JP and has route length of 1700km and doesn't need SM at SC and only stabling SCR wantes to extend 243km making 1950km one way and 3900km round trip which is the maximum limit for PM of LHB rake. The issue here is after extention 2 PF out of 3 will be occupied by 2 trains for couple of hours and both up and down train must be accommodated in one PF which is a operational constraint. So SCR might have rethought and changed terminal to KCG so that it is stabled some 30-50km

KCG 715 extended portion it will arrive at 1145 and have to leave at 1700. The stabling lines should have watering facility. Being long distance train washrooms have to be cleaned which is done by use of hipressure water jet pump mounted on trolley which can be done only on PF. I don't know whether this jet pump is available at Kurnool though 3 trains are terminating and all are short distance. Taking to stabling line for 2.5hrs and bringing back at 1500 to PF for cleaning is a big task. May be SCr is waiting for new TT in which most trains will get speedup and change in timings to accomodate all extentions granted in Jan 2023. Even Uday can be extended to Guntur but there will be change in operational staff from Vja to GNT so not yet done. Same with Vskp KCG
I don't see high speed waterpumps in Kurnool , your assumption makes sense about new TT
