If we get 1000 more locos, it would take 100 weeks at a rate of 10 locos per week. So, it would only take two years.

1000 aur locos matlab 100 hafte @ 10 locos har hafte matlab sirf do saal.

I said 'mad numbers'

Maine 'hajaar' kahaa.

Right now, there are around 5000-6000 D-locos working in the Indian Railways. It will take about 5-7 years to replace these locos. By that time, all P1, P4, G5, G7 locos will be retired, and it will take around 2-3 more years to replace them. Moreover, the number of trains is increasing every day. New technologies like push-pull require more locos. So, it's not accurate to say that the manufacturing unit will be idle in the future.

Abhi tak IR mein kuch 5000-6000 D-locos chala rahe hai
In locos ko badalne ke liye kareeb 5-7 saal lagenge
Us waqt tak sab P1, P4, G5, G7 seva se bahar honge, unke badle mein, aur 2-3 saal lagenge
Saath hi, traino ki sankhya din ba din badh rahi hai
Push pull jaise naye takniki mein aur locos ki zaroorat hai
To yeh galat hai ke manufacturing unit baad mein akela ho jayega

Yo, there's still a shortage of electric locos in some areas. The Indian Railways is getting on it, though, expanding electric power like crazy. And yo, in a few years, we gotta start phasing out the WAP1, WAP4, WAG5, WAG7, WCAMx series, so we gotta make sure we have their replacements ready too. Don't forget the DDFC, we need some high HP freight locos over there. Some zones like NWR and NFR don't even have a single ELS, so they need some fresh locos too. So yeah, we need like thousands of electric locos, for both passengers and freight.

Kuch jagahon me abhi bhi electric locos ki kami hai. IR apna electrification area jaldi badha raha hai. Aur kuch saal baad slowly slowly WAP1, WAP4, WAG5, WAG7, WCAMx series ko dheere dheere retire kar dena hoga. Isliye unki jagah ki bhi dekhbhal karni hogi. Sabse important toh DDFC hai, wahan bhi high HP ke freight locomotives ki zaroorat hai. Kai zones abhi tak kisi ELS ka malik nahi hai jaise NWR, NFR. To unko bhi naye allotments ki zaroorat hai. Toh haan sir, hazaron Elocos ki zaroorat hai, passenger aur freight ke liye bhi.

Damn, this is some dope info! DLW is actually making Eloco too. Their manufacturing capacity is steadily going up. DLW is the real MVP when it comes to meeting the demand for Eloco.

Kaafi faydemand jaankari hai... Asal mein DLW bhi Eloco banata hai... Uski manufacturing capacity dheere dheere badh rahi hai... DLW, Eloco ki zaroorat ko pura karne mein bahut mahatvapurna bhumika nibhata hai...
