The post is very much viable and is good . Do think about circular route kalyan Pune Ahmednagar manmad Nasikroad kalyan train at least ferrying four to five times in both direction .
To my knowledge many people are preferring to go by highway road between Mumbai to Hyderabad as they can start and reach as per their convenience and return to their home overnight. With more/ all of EVs this is environmental friendly also.
I hope these aspects are taken into consideration in the traffic survey.
