yes though wap 7 is more powerful than wap 4 but wap 7 is mostly used for lower speed haulage of heavier trains. :)
Wap 4 tractive effort -

Instead, a WAP5 should be allotted to this train like Mumbai Rajdhani (another train which gets 21 coaches). It is more suited for high-speed operations as compared to WAP4 & WAP7.
