Hence, IR can give stoppage to Ndls Adi Rajdhani at Alwar Junction on experimental basis.. n if it goes right.. then can make it permanent..

I agree that the train has good patronage
But not many people board this train from the intermediate A+ stations i.e. Jaipur and Ajmer
I've seen this train this year about 4-5 times I mean both UP and DOWN. Not many people got of or boarded the train, no one in fact from what I saw. Suvidha Special halt could've been given.

I suppose inconvenient timings might be one reason. In either case, many trains run on this route, so people have too much choices. I assume this rajdhani has similarity with the Patna one(both of them are filled with end to end passengers, intermediate stoppages matter little).
If Jaipur and Ajmer are not giving enough patronage, why isn't it skipping Jaipur and Ajmer? Any technical constraints; IR should take a look.

The concept of Rajdhani is provide good connection to a capital/industrial hub of a particular state to the country capital rather than focusing on the intermediate stations. I've also seen both NDLS-BCT Rajdhani and August Kranti Rajdhani. Both have halts at Kota but not many people prefer it for travelling b/w Delhi and Kota. People opt for either Jan Shatabdi or the other trains(there are many options). Other than inconvenient timings, Jaipur and Ajmer have got more options for Ahmedabad. Rewari and Alwar haven't got many(only 2 trains actually). Ashram is always full and Garib Rath also gets full as it's connecting Delhi Mumbai. So halt at Alwar is quite important. IR can actually try an experimental stoppage for a month or 2. And about skipping Jaipur and Ajmer, Rajdhani can't. Both are 2 of the 3 A+ stations in Rajasthan and important tourist places.
Railways can always give experimental stoppage at Alwar, agreed.
As for skipping Jaipur, it's possible. It does not matter if a stations is A+ or not. Even Bhopal and Delhi Jn are skipped; can't see a reason why Ajmer and Jaipur can't be skipped. They may be important tourist centres, but if they are not getting passengers from those stations(due to inconvenient timings maybe), IR can make ADI Raj skip those stations.
Regarding BCT-NDLS Raj; maybe food/crew change is loaded from base kitchen of Kota, hence stoppage is required.
