I think 160 track upgradation that is taking place will be useless in mostly all places except MMCT-NDLS and HWH-NDLS route as WAP5s locos are so few and only present in BRC,GZB and HWH.
Unless WDP4s are making a comeback I don't see any Rajdhanis other than the big 4 12951/12953/12301/12313 running at 160.

WAP5 banne me kitna samay lagta hai
Jabtak ye routes upgrade honge tabtak apne aap WAP5s mil jaige in region ke sheds ko
Kab honge wo bada question hai

Are pehle hone to do 160, kayi saal se 160 ho raha par abhi tak hua nahi.
Upgrading all major routes HDN other then HDN 1 HDN2 itself will take time. Newer WAP7 are being made 180 fit, so by that time they should be ready for 140-160 running.
Arrey pehle 160 toh honne do routes ko jo tum avi se hi wap-5 ke production ki chinta karr rhe ho tab tak modi aur uski govt bhi rahega ki nahin uska thikana nahin.
Problem is IR focused most in NDLS-Mumbai line & it became fastest stretch of IR. But running train density is lower in NDLS-BRC-Mumbai line. Whereas both NDLS-HWH via Gaya & via Patna line are over saturated, have plenty of old bridges & higher running train density than NDLS-Mumbai line. So in NDLS-Kota stretch average speed of Fast trains is 105-111 kph. Whereas in NDLS-CNB stretch average speed of Fast trains is 95-1101 kph, a whooping 10 kph speed gap. For eg 12952 takes 4 hrs 25 mins in 467 kms NDLS-KOTA stretch @ 106 kph average speed. But 12302 takes 4 hrs 45 mins in 441 km NDLS-CNB stretch @ 93 kph. Guess what, average speed difference is of 13 kph between 12952 & 12302.
