There are still shortage at some zones for electric locos. IR is expanding its electrification footprint at a faster pace. Plus after some years slowly slowly WAP1, WAP4, WAG5, WAG7, WCAMx series will be needed to be phased out gradually. So their replacement also needs to be taken care off. The most important DDFC, there too freight locomotives of high HP is required. Many zones are yet not having a single ELS e.g. NWR, NFR. So they also need fresh allotments. So yes sir Elocos are required in 1000s including passenger & freight.
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, there's still a shortage of electric locos in some areas. The Indian Railways is getting on it, though, expanding electric power like crazy. And yo, in a few years, we gotta start phasing out the WAP1, WAP4, WAG5, WAG7, WCAMx series, so we gotta make sure we have their replacements ready too. Don't forget the DDFC, we need some high HP freight locos over there. Some zones like NWR and NFR don't even have a single ELS, so they need some fresh locos too. So yeah, we need like thousands of electric locos, for both passengers and freight.
please wait...Translate to HindiKuch jagahon me abhi bhi electric locos ki kami hai. IR apna electrification area jaldi badha raha hai. Aur kuch saal baad slowly slowly WAP1, WAP4, WAG5, WAG7, WCAMx series ko dheere dheere retire kar dena hoga. Isliye unki jagah ki bhi dekhbhal karni hogi. Sabse important toh DDFC hai, wahan bhi high HP ke freight locomotives ki zaroorat hai. Kai zones abhi tak kisi ELS ka malik nahi hai jaise NWR, NFR. To unko bhi naye allotments ki zaroorat hai. Toh haan sir, hazaron Elocos ki zaroorat hai, passenger aur freight ke liye bhi.
