As it is always said the distance in Konkan Railways is inflated. However, we can experience certain trains running at 100 kmph+ in certain sections and an avg. of 80 kmph+ thruout the journey. A few clarifications needs to be addrtessed so that everything gets clear.
Q.1. Hw cum is this possible when avg speed after converting to normal distance scale falls below 60 kmph? (Eg. try avg speed of 12051/12052 Janshatabdi while travelling)
Q.2. What is the approx distance between Mumbai & Madgaon (by normal distance scale)?
Q.3.

more...
Why would KR inflate the distance?

The total route length of Konkan Railways is 760 kms from Mumbai to Mangalore. How come the distance between Mumbai CST & Madgaon can come up to 742 kms?
It's only because of inflated route kms used by Konkan railways for charging the passengers more & recover the huge costs associated with building this extensive network.
