SC - VSKP Duronto express, SC - GHY weekly SF express is permanently diverted Via-GNT. These trains halt at only GNT. On these 2 trains, the Duronto express stops at GNT 2 minutes and the SC - GHY Express for 5 minutes.

More than reducing travel time, it is likely that they are trying to optimize their route utilization.

12513/14 is just a weekly train and runs just ahead of some daily trains. It will be easy to accommodate it along with Narsapur express in the same block while going towards SC and since GNT route is free between JB and Bhavnagar, they can again accommodate it on the GNT route. This is probably to shuffle around the maintenance block times on both routes.

As for Duronto, there have been talks in the past about increasing the frequency of Cocanada. Since both of them run back-to-back and they have to manage the crossover of both trains at BZA bypass, it is possible that they've done this route change to increase the frequency of one or both trains in future.
