Yes in cruise, but on flights under about an hour you arrive only a little later, because most of a short flight is spent climbing and descending rather than cruising.
Turboprop cabins are smaller than a similar jet’s, but modern turboprops are pressurised and quiet enough for normal conversation, so the main difference you notice is cabin height and width.
Turboprop charter is often cheaper on flights under about an hour, because on a short trip a turboprop arrives within a few minutes of a jet for considerably less money.
A jet wastes much of its speed on a short trip. On a 250-mile flight, it spends most of the time climbing and descending. It barely reaches the cruise where it is efficient. A turboprop (a propeller plane with turbine engines) is built for lower heights and shorter distances. It often lands within a few minutes of the jet, for considerably less money.
Runways are the other reason, and in India they often decide it. Plants, project sites and district airfields often have runway lengths, surfaces or approach aids that rule jets out completely. At these places a turboprop is not the compromise. It is the only aircraft that can land.
The trade-off is speed and cabin size. Above roughly two hours, the jet’s speed saves real time. Turboprops also fly lower, so they meet more weather along the way.
