Hi, could anyone tell me why all south bound trains, including Udyan express, have diesel locos between Mumbai and Pune, when electrification is available?
Diesel doesn't come anywhere close to electric as far as riding comfort and speed is concerned. Plus, I would assume there are environmental considerations with the ghats.
I see north-bound trains running on electric locos though. Is there a reason?

No idea. wait for some more time i.e years.
LTT - KYN voltage change itself is under pending, so u can imagine how much time will it take for the entire Pune - WADI/GTL to get energized.
