The officials who are knowledgeable about the development stated that the Indian Railways has increased its locomotive production target for FY25 by 27% to 1,500 units.

They further mentioned that the national transporter intends to maintain this annual production target unchanged until FY27.

It was indicated that the railways operate eight production units across the country where they manufacture wheels, axles, locomotives, and coaches. Their initial goal was to conclude the ongoing fiscal year with 1,180 new locomotives.

Emphasizing the endeavor to enhance freight train services, the railways are considering the production of 1,240 locomotives of the WAG 9H model in FY25. Additionally, 260 locomotives of the WAP 7 variant will be manufactured primarily for passenger train operations within the same fiscal year.

As per the most recent plan, it is projected that 1,300 WAG 9H locomotives will be manufactured annually in FY26 and FY27, while 200 units of the WAP 7 variant will be produced each year during this period. Alongside locomotives, the production plan for 50 Amrit Bharat trains has also been endorsed for FY25. This entails the production of 1,230 coaches at the railways' production units.
