Akola-Manmad if GC is completed soon, it will be like an alternative to North from South. Because this year Bidar-Kalaburagi line will be completed, then from South it will be an alternate to SC-NGP or DD-MMR line.

It will be like SBC/TVC/MAS --- GTL-RC-GR-BIDR-PBN-AK-KNW-ET also for SC it will be like NED-AK-KNW-ET.

And...
more... when KNW-INDB is completed it will be another route to West from South.
Even better would be when AK-KNW-INDB project is complete, one can also think of INDB-GUNA-GWL as another route to North without using the saturated ET-BPL corridor!!!
