Next set of coaches going to inaugurated at Kashmir and later some part of north east.

I did not say they will run fast at MPS "always". I said they will need to be fast in clearing the mainline if needed. Also like I mentioned, in the above post "what if" it is run on Konkan route?
they will create the slot accordingly so that it wont create as issue. As of now railways has no proposal to run these tourist coaches on Konkan railway. Railways going to run Tejas on Konkan very soon.
