The rake is hardly 13-14 yrs old. It has a mix of coaches of YPR
GR , Vskp, and second rake of Vskp GR total 3 rakes. As per new RB directive the rakes of trains having completed 20+yrs are being condemned. So GR all over the IR network still have a life of 4 more yrs to retire. Duronto and Cocanada exp are recently converted to LHB ts they have completed 20yrs of life which are rakes of SBC HNZM Rajdhani exp.

Ok. So GR has to wait for 6 or 7 more years then. By the way GR rakes are capable of 130kmph as per my knowledge. Hope some speed up happens as BZA-KJZ section speed is increased.
