Older ones (2000-2010/11)were more reliable especially the AC ones but due to poor material from regional vendors and increasing tare weight from 39 tonnes to 46 tonnes(avg)due to bio tank &different furnishing items it has crossed the design pay load of Alstom.
Quality control and testing can help . Trainsets have there own set of problems like the under gear motors need proper covering, fencing to avoid damage to the nose, pantry space issues and the high cost of production due to unnecessary specifications added by RDSO. They need to work on improving real issues which are increasing there operational costs.
Also i think if we can't develop indigenous parts which can match the quality of the foreign ones and which are unreliable better to use the foreign parts.
Yes atleast the time and cost lost in the process will be saved even though the cost of the foreign parts is little high.
