Hi Rajesh
Just did the trip earlier this month (Mumbai - Ahmedabad). Left on Thursday 3 Apr.
Left Borivali (N Bombay) at 6.30am. Average speed between 80-100kph. Never really went over 100 unless overtaking trucks. No traffic congestions at all.
Bharuch-Baroda, due to road widening and flyover construction, speed dropped to 40-60kph. Trucks were driving in the middle of the road (even though there was plenty on room on the left side of the road) and not allowing overtaking opportunities. Reached Ahmedabad at 5.30pm (my house in Ahm).
RETURN journey.
Left on Fri 18 Apr. Left my house in Ahm at 6.30am. Driving at bit faster. Speed was 100-120kph. LOTS of trucks right after the Baroda express way finished. Right after Bharuch tolls, got stuck in traffic to Ankleshwar. Took me 2 (TWO) hours! to do 3 (THREE) KM!. Bumper-to-bumper traffic. I was driving through ditches to overtake trucks, my car looked like it had been through a sand war. After Ankleshwar, smooth again, 80-100kph speed. Reached Mumbai house at 7.30pm.
Leave some spare time, on the way TO Ahmedabad, very smooth drive. Not a single congestion at all. That got me over-confident on the return journey.
Hope I haven't missed anything. Let me know if you want further info.
Good Luck
