Ranchi needs overnight sleeper VB starting from Ranchi at night and reaching Howrah early in the morning. At the same time Howrah departure at night and Ranchi arrival early in the morning by using two rakes of VB. People of Ranchi avoid two things - Travelling in day time and travelling by expensive mode. Therefore, Hatia - Howrah Kriyayoga Express gets WL while the Ranchi - Howrah Shatabdi Express runs with some seats remaining vacant.
Lot of things matter in the route, whether alternate faster options are available or not, spending power of passengers and so on. and also if there is a significant difference in travel time. From what people have been mentioning, in the RNC HWH route day option might not be preferred for end to end passengers. Similarly from Jamshedpur lot of people travel to Ranchi for flights. Buses reach in 2 hrs so people may not prefer trains as it is longer
Ranchi to jamshedpur road connection much shorter. 123 km
But train connectivity via suisa muri 165 kriyayoga route
Via prr 215 km vb intercity route. There by xtra km xtra RT xtra money.

After constructing Chandil - Namkum (alternate proposal was Kandra Namkum) short cut, via Tata will be much better than via Bokaro S C and then Ranchi (RNC) - TATA passengers will be available but presenlty even not via Puruliya (PRR) or via Suisa is long route between Chandil - Namkom then (after completion of that short cut) via Purulia will be a bad route for Ranchi passengers. VIa Aansol, Purulia is also not possible as Ranchi Shatabdi, Patna Howrah Vande Bharat will cut the share of Durgapur, Asansol passengers. via Tarakeswar - Bishnupur (Construction of most of the parts have been completed), Bankura, Puruliya may be a route but it may be with low Max P. Speed (it will be not good if it is too slow). Otherwise TATA route should be reserved for Ranchi Vande Bharat and not for Rourkela Vande Bharat which may be thinking of some...
