PM Modi launches Indian Railways first 12,000 HP ‘Make in India’ electric locomotive; it’s a game-changer |
- Indian Railways takes big step towards environment-friendly transformation: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has flagged off Indian Railways’ first ‘Make in India’ 12,000 HP electric locomotive today. The locomotive rolled out of the factory in Bihar’s Madhepura and will now go to Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh for extensive testing before it is inducted into the Indian Railways. The electric locomotive manufacturing facility has been set up as joint venture between French major Alstom (76%) and Indian Railways (24%).
- The 3.5 billion euros project is said to be the biggest FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) project in Indian Railways. The new high-powered electric locomotives will run on dedicated freight corridors, pulling freight at much better speeds and doing so in a more ‘green’ way than the diesel locomotives. The electric locomotives will be gamechangers for Indian Railways as the national transporter looks to commission dedicated freight corridors for faster movement of goods at a time when roadways is giving stiff competition.
