Some of the drawbacks of above plan:
1) Condemnation of 5000 D-locos is a costly affair loss of about 50000 crores (50% cost of D-locos)
2) Procurement/ manufacture of 10-12K E locos in 2.5 yrs is a very difficult (almost impossible) task
3) Procurement cost of these many e locos need astronomical 1.5-1.8 lac crore Rs. in next 2.5 years
4)...
more... Non availability of E locos shall result in usage of D-locos in newly electrified tracks which is highly undesirable,
-
Rather than going for rapid electrification at break neck speed (planned @10000-12000 km/yr) to achieve 100% electrification in next 3 years, it would be better to at a reasonable pace of 3000kms per year. Spared funds should be utilized for construction of DFCs & doubling/tripling of highly congested money spinner routes of IR.
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, here are some issues with the plan:
1) Scrapping 5000 outdated D-locomotives is gonna be hella expensive, like around 50000 crores (50% cost of D-locomotives), damn!
2) Trying to get or make 10-12K E-locomotives in just 2.5 years is a mad tough (practically impossible) task, bro.
3) Getting that many E-locomotives is gonna cost a crazy amount, like 1.5-1.8 lac crore Rs. in the next 2.5 years.
4) If we don't have enough E-locomotives, we gonna have to use those outdated D-locomotives on the new electrified tracks, which is not cool at all.
Instead of rushing to electrify everything like crazy (planned @10000-12000 km/yr) just to hit that 100% electrification target in 3 years, it would be smarter to take it slow and do like 3000kms per year. Save that money and put it towards building new tracks and improving the super busy and money-making routes of IR.
please wait...Translate to HindiKuch upaaye-uphaar oopar ke plan ke:
1) 5000 D-locos ka kautilyaan akaal nau sau karod rupaye ki kharch, D-locos ke beech adhikansh kharch ki khapat (50%)
2) 2.5 saal mein 10-12K E locos ka upasarjan/ utpaadan ek bahut muskil (lagbhag asambhav) kaam hai
3) Itne saare e locos ke upasarjan ka kharch agle 2.5 saal mein antrik manovigyanik (1.5-1.8 lachh karod rupaye) hai
4) E locos ki aniyantrita mein hone se abhoomika mein gandagi ka upayog jeerna-eletrified rel-marg mein hoga, jo atyant anuchit hai
-
150% eletrification ko agle 3 saal mein paane ke liye tez raftar mein elektrifikeshan ke bajaye 3000 kms har saal ki ek samanya gati mein badhana accha hoga. Bachat huye funds ko Indian Railway ke atyadhik balvaan money spinner routes ke DFCs ka nirmaan aur dublins/ triplins mein prayog kare.
