unelectrified route till AK. even if MPS is kept to 90 AS is the case with RTM INDB via FTD still INDB SEGM via AK can be covered in 10 hours. alternately from knw this can be routed through BSL even then the saving compared to ahilyanagari would be 143 KM loco change can be done at BSL and MPS would be 110 from KNW onwards.
Most importantly it will avoid super busy bpl-et - ngp route
