West Coast Express and MAQ-MS Express can be diverted via SBHR-Kunigal......and instead of that a new MAQ-TBM/MS Express(via CAN-CLT-PGTN-POY) should be introduced...The main benefits are :
1.Utilisation of MAQ - HAS and PGTN - POY - DG Lines
2. POY - MS Connection via shorter route
3. Effective rake utilisation maybe WC/Egmore Express can be brought into

RSA
4.First HAS-MAS/MS Connection
Instead of MS-MAQ and WC Express......2 MEMU trains can be made to run in the CBE - MAQ section....and the old CBE - TPJ Intercity Express can be reintroduced with extension to delta areas or other interior areas....

If not new trains atleast extension to MAQ surely of that ICE.
The pitlines there will be used for SWR.
Or if KR takes over, then KR trains. No more dumping KL / TN trains there.
That will be a great beginning....

Well I might have overstated that part - Sorry for that.

the same issue every week. For KA members its the 2 ghats, MAQ and KLBG division. There used to be that HPT line, that is no longer a issue.
.
This MAQ / MAJN is never gonna leave PGT.
KL will never allow it.
This issue is just for discussion among railfans and some news articles from time to time.

Agreed, a move to KR, while still having the same problems for HAS bound traffic, will make it easier to run Northbound trains.

The revenue for the railways isn't calculated like that.
For example, if NMPT pays the railways 1 Crore (just a random number for illustration) for a full coal rake from NMPT to SBC, then the revenue is split like this -
1) A small fraction (usually 5% for passenger trains, I don't the know the exact number though) - roughly 5% will be set aside for the zone handling the loading, in this case 5 lakhs for SR.
2)
...
more...
The remaining the 95 lakhs will be split in the ratio of the distance traveled by the train in each zone. In this case, roughly 15km in SR and 350km in SWR. So, SWR gets about 90 lakhs and SR gets about 5 lakhs.
But if the train is going from NMPT to any destination in SR, then the entire 1 crore will be given to SR.
So, as you can see, in most cases, the fraction of the revenue that SR gets because of 'NMPT being located in their jurisdiction' is very less. (5 -10 lakhs vs the full revenue). So, out of the 385 crore revenue you mentioned, more than 80% would be revenue due to the train 'running on SR tracks', and some part of the remaining 20% would be due to 'NMPT being present in SR'.
If the section is transferred to SWR or KR, then SR will only be losing a part of that remaining 20%.

To add to your point Excerpt from a news item earlier this year when the MAQ MP went with a request for moving MAQ to a diff division
" Creating a separate division for Mangaluru poses technical and financial issues as the operational area is split under zonal railways–South Western and Southern Railway, and Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd and Hassan Mangalore Rail Development Company Ltd. Since corporations are independent entities under the ministry with a different shareholding pattern, it will not be easy to run rough shod over them "
