No new WAP7s are made since 2021, Why?
Last WAP7 made was 30829, which was allotted to Visakhapatnam.

You are right.
As per production programme, I think only 50 locos each were set as target for both DMW and BLW this year.

I think with focus now shifting to T-18s which doesn't require locomotives, IR might be reconsidering its Locomotive production programme and going slow on it.

So Passenger versions viz P7s/P5s are eityer not getting manufactured or is very slow.

Surplus WAP-7s, maybe?

But in some zones like CR they say there's a shortage of 3 Phasers. Plus with KR going all electric, demand for HOG P7s should increase.

Within 1-2 years, SWR's

demand for P7s will also drastically increase with the electrification of the SBC UBL mainline. So I'm sure production will not entirely stop, they've slowed it down for some reason.
