I have no info on that. But IMO in lieu of the extinct Shatabdi, the Hubli Jan Shatabdi was introduced.
There are also the Mumbai-Pune and SBC-UBL Shatabdi's (Both introduced in 1995). One of them would be the first intrastate Shatabdi. MAS-CBE was the initial proposal, that was later side-lined in favor of a SBC-UBL Shatabdi, however due to political pressure, MAS-CBE was re-announced again.
Bangalore Hubli Shatabdi's inaugural run was on June 13th, 1995 and SC-RJY Shatabdi's inaugural was on February 19th, 1999.
