how long it will take after clearing immigration to reach the gate? 5-10 minutes?
is it straightforward or i need to take escalator?
i am on a very tight schedule and surprises are not welcome...
Gate 62 is half-way down the right Y split at the far end of the airport, which means taking the train or walking a long long distance, very very fast if you wanted to get there in under 10 minutes.
After clearing immigration, 10 minutes is doable but would require the confluence of no ondulators, zigzaggers, drifters and assorted human flotsam blocking your way, off the train ASAP and first up the escalator. If you really wanted 10 minutes for sure, you should probably take one those buggies that are available right after immigration. But it'll cost ya, and I don't know how long the wait would be for one once you get to the buggy station.
