800 WAP5/7 is too high (annually). It won't be possible to turn out those many locos in one year, unless of course, multiple locomotive factories exist across India :P

WAP-4s will be be active service for atleast 30 more years.......so you are not going to miss those red beauties anytime sooner........
Btw....in this way....Old isn't Gold....Old consumes more gold.......A P5/P7 is more energy efficient than a than a P-4!

not at all.
current RM is trying to raise funds, but that is far from what would be required here.
consider this: each P5/P7 costs upwards of INR 12 crore. 800 of them will require around INR 10000 crore
each LHB coach costs
...
more...
INR 1.5-2 Crore. even if we accept lower value, 40,000 will cost INR 60,000 crore
100,000 ICF coaches= approx INR 80,000 crore.
For an organization that is working at Operating ratio close to 0.9 funds of this magnitude don't exists.
