Purvanchal Express - Poorvottar ka Sikandar

Nahi, freight or passenger locos dono ka production Alstom or Indian Railways Joint Venture k tehat Madhepura, Bihar me karega. Prima-P jo ki India me WAP-8 hogi or Prima-F joki India me WAG-10 kehlayegi. News Article ne galata quote kiya hai, 200 km/hr Passenger loco ki max. speed hogi or freight loco ki max. speed 140 km/hr hogi.

Has the construction of the loco factory started? Or will the first locomotives be procured as samples from Alstom like how we got the initial WAP5/G9 locos from ABB?

---

Out of 800 locomotives that has to be manufactured, first 5 would be imported ones & reaming will be produced in India.

---

Please check the facts carefully Alstom is only going to make freight locos. Prima is a freight loco not a passenger loco. I am happy to be corrected if you show me one official confirmation from IR/Alstom that locos produced would be passenger and freight locos both. Request you to not quote any news links because they are heavily unreliable.
