You can add halts like Pipariya, Gadarwara, Narsinghpur, Lamta and Samnapur, this will connect more unconnected regions also instead of going to JBP you can have reversal at MML itself, it is now having 4 PFs so issue blocking the mainline is resolved there.
And the better use of this train is the extension from both sides, You can extend this to Indore from 1 side and to Bilaspur from another, which will give an alternate for Amarkantak Express also it will connect Indore to Raipur as daily connection which is a much required.
