used by one of the country's super-fast express Rajdhani, which has never crossed 110 kmph. Gatimaan Express is currently India's first semi-high speed train that runs between Delhi and Jhansi. It operates at a maximum speed of 160 kmph (99 miles per hour)."

What tracks could the author be talking about? I thought CPYZ-ALD was, barring some speed restrictions in places, 130-capable. Is that not the case?

In any case, if the CCRS meant ALD-MUV via Jhusi and Madhosingh, 105 is a good starting point. Sure, it's single line, but I don't expect them stopping T18 to let other trains cross!
