Also some M/E are on the borderline of being a SF with some speed up they can be converted to SF.
But for additional trains to be run we will require much more railway lines then present. That issue need to be tackled too.
Need more DFCs to decongest tracks, then doubling, tripling, quadrapling should be undertaken on more routes. White elephants be it premium or non premium should be discontinued. Instead of adding VBs on every route they should try to replace Shatabdis with VB rakes. In routes like Mumbai...

We need more Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs) to reduce the congestion on tracks. After that, we should focus on doubling, tripling, and quadrupling the tracks on more routes. Useless and unnecessary trains, whether they are premium or non-premium, should be discontinued. Instead of adding more Shatabdi trains on every route, they should consider replacing them with Vande Bharat (VB) trains. In routes like Mumbai to Ahmedabad, New Delhi to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra, etc., Shatabdi trains with VB coaches can be operated.
