Thanks for your input. Following is the explanation to each one of your query/statement:
1. Departure shifted 10min ahead of Ranthambore now.
2. There won't be LR at UJN as instead of DWX this chooses the route via FTD (was already mentioned in the description)
3. Not possible as not running via DWX
4....

I understand that the route via UJN will be longer, but also believe that UJN will yield enough passengers, as getting reservation in JBP SMNH is difficult post HBJ, and hence Narmada turns out to be only available option.
5. Considering the same reason I chose INDB-FTD-UJN route post which double line to BPL will prevent delays.
6. Yes the overnight trains crawl, and the ICE to INDB receives no passengers due to its obnoxious route. I expected this Shatabdi to replace it with the best route possible.
7. On the first thought even I considered reverse timings, but a Janshatabdi to HBJ already departs from JBP at 6am. Ergo, BPL bound passengers are least likely to prefer this.
