By norms, a superfast train should have a commercial speed in excess of 55km/h on BG. On MG, the minimum commercial speed used to be 45km/h for classification as superfast, but there have not been any MG superfasts for some time now. Superfast train just means that the train was classifed in that category, nothing more or less; its actual commercial speed may be above or below that of other trains classified as 'passenger' or 'fast passenger' trains. However, tickets for a 'superfast' train carry an extra surcharge. Any other train, which is not classified as superfast and of long distance journey are generally express train. Very few trains are near to superfast, e.g., Shatabdi and Rajdhani.
