Well, if you're going to compare air fares to 1st class AC train prices, you should use F air fares.
A CC (air-conditioned chair car) seat on a 'superfast' train (3pm-7pm, in-town to in-town) is Rs 425.
Of course, personally I would get a car for this route, especially if 2 or more people---that way, no schedule to follow.
