Actually sanctioned max speed on paper is 100 kmph but since gauge conversion in 1993, this section was very poorly maintained. It seems that now that SCR realised importance of SC-MMR section. Since last 2 yrs I am seeing that SCR taking frequent megablocks on this section to do multiple works such as construction of underpasses, construction of loop lines which support 45 kmph looping, strengthening of tacks etc. hope now this section will get justice.. :)
I also heard one member of Railway Samiti of Marathwada saying that SCR will complete upgradation work of MUE-MMR section by the Dec2014 and after that this section will see speed increase.
