It's because of the rake length. Usually, for identical track maintenance, shorter rakes can run at higher speeds than longer rakes. This is also the reason why Gatimaan is officially cleared to run at 160kmph, but not BPL Shatabdi. Upgrading Gatimaan to 180kmph will require more track and signalling modifications, while current 160kmph clearance was possible for a short 12 coach rake without much overhaul.
