* E loco construction/ procurement too have to be commensurately stepped up, else the money spent in very quick electrification shall be wasted.
* As the electrification is being commissioned at enhanced pace (@ 2000km/yr against an average of 300-400 kms/yr since independence), the requirement of new diesel locos shall dwindle and of eloco shall drastically shoot up.
* Soon IR shall be loaded with a huge unwanted fleet of diesel locos, which shall be disadvantageously operated in electrified territory.
*
...
more...
DLW is switching over to E loco manufaturing and may retain minimal Dloco manufacturing capacity.
* New diesel loco factory at Marhaura shall not be useful and should be scrapped. Either it should manufacture Eloco or capacity of proposed Eloco factory at Madhepura should be jacked up.

New lines and some diesel lines will take 15-20 years for electficiation so I think new factory of Diesel locomotive is not a big problem as the govt official also know the facts
But yes they will produce eloco rapidly as so many trains having 100% route electrified but still runs few km with diesel due to lack of eloco and ELS

Yes, D-Loco will be needed in future but there is already DLW and few other establishments to manufacture them. We are self sufficient even now.
And in future when their need is less, why do we need a foreign collaboration in manufacturing something that we have in plenty and are capable of manufacturing ourselves.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
