Thanks for the useful statistics. This can explain why IR still uses WAM4. The codal life (The normal working life prescribed in the rules for computing asset life and depreciation in IR's Finance) for Electric locos is usually 40 years. But in general if the locomotive maintenance is very good, it's usage can be extended beyond the 40 year guideline. IR's WAM4's are very rugged and they were less prone to failures through out their lifetime ( The failures during recent times are more due to age rather than problems with the design) and their maintenance is very, very simple. That's why most of them are very well maintained. So most of them are capable of running beyond the 40 year limit.
