TRAINS AT A GLANCE 1996 but not in table and most probably fare table was before time table session. (present one was introduced after a long time of withdrawing).
203x/203x (x=?) Secunderabad Rajhmundry (during 1999) with halts at Vijayawada, Eluru and used to skip Warangal.

(present one was introduced after a long time of withdrawing with Duronto service pattern and later service pattern was changed to Shatabdi).

New Delhi Bhatinda. (in 2002). Maybe according to a web link maybe of hindustan times: Amid suspense over train route, … Oct 28, 2014 - In 2002, the Delhi-bound Shatabdi express was flagged off... It had five stops at Barnala, Dhuri, Patiala, Rajpura and Ambala during its to and fro journey.

Maybe according to a web link maybe of The Telegraph: Green nod to new Jan Shatabdi destination - Telegraph India May 8, 2003 - The South Eastern Railway has decided to extend the existing Howrah-Tata Jan Shatabdi Express to Barbil from May 15. … The Shatabdi Express which was running between Howrah and Tata was withdrawn in March after the railways incurred a huge loss. The Jan Shatabdi Express was instead introduced from March 2.
CAG website (maybe) Review on Passenger Revenue Management in Indian Railways: Train Nos.2021/ 2022 which was earlier running as Shatabdi Express between Howrah -Rourkela was converted to run as Jan Shatabdi Express from 2 March 2003 between Howrah - Tata.

As per this website, it was introduced on 1/7/1997 but it is wrong as it replaced former (not the present one) Chennai Coimbatore Shatabdi in 2000. So it was introduced in 2000.

You can serach google to get as:
click here 2023/2024 Chennai Coimbatore Shatabdi Express Policy instructions regarding Rajdhani/Shatabdi Express trains 07.06.2000

So it was existed in 2000. I can remember it was not on 2000-01 time table where 2679 (now 12679) replaced it. It also started from Coimbatore in the morning like Shatabdi and returned before midnight but immediately after replacement, the replacement train, 2679 Intercity was slower. Shatabdi (old):
2023: MAS 15:10, CBE 22:00,
2024: CBE 07:25 MAS 14:10

Note: As per this source 2021/2022 Howrah Rourkela Shatabdi was cancelled but it was not permanent, maybe it was the time when the rake was damaged because of derailment near Panskura and it was suspended. Later it was restored. It was short terminated at Tatanagar when 2002-03 time table validity started on 01.07.2002 if not Saturday, otherwise the next day, 2/7/02. Finally it was replaced by Jan Shatabdi in 2003 which was subsequently extended to Barbil. You can get withdrawing/ discontinuation story of 2021/2022 Howrah Tata Shatabdi Express by google search
