* Majority of quota is allotted to Puri/BBS/SBP cluster (~600)and only (~118) to BSP/R/Durg cluster and (117) for NGP cluster. Puri quota is always vacant whereas BSP/R/Durg/G cluster is usually on waiting list at the time of departure.

NGP...
more... cluster-41 berths out of 117 sold 76 berths available
Puri/BBS/SBP cluster-only 84 berths out of 600 sold 516 berths available
* This situation continues since the introduction of this train, there is W/L on BSP/R/Durg/G cluster and the train runs with large number of empty berths. When will IR take note of this and redistribute the quota to increase occupancy & earnings?
Looks the policy of having majority of quota to originating destination over rules market demand in IR .
* This train can be run triweekly if half coaches are changed to SL class and quota is allotted as per traffic demand instead of originating station.
