WAP-5 is mentioned as the 'Mislink' by an official site
29-Jun-17 12924 Dir 42 CR NGP 30105 BRC WAP5 3-Phase IB, BRC, Apr 28 2017 Miscellaneous (NGP-INDB, load 22B) 32" loss on run between Kalmeswar-Metpanjra & 15" Narkher-Pandurna for wheel slipping with LSP glowing and speed reduced due to gradient 1:65 with 3 degree curve and rainy weather. As per JPO Banker to be provided Ex.TEO during rainy weather. No loco trouble. Being refuted. IB-28.04.17, TI/PA-26.06.17. Section major: NGP-AMF.

That would make sense. The other locos are heavy enough to provide necessary braking power, while the lighter WAP5 would always need the added precaution.
But it's surprising that they are letting such long trains descend on a 1:37 gradient without brakers! That's rather close to the line!
The reason for switching to P7 for SKD and NGP Duronto were the compressor constraints in the conventional locos I suppose.
