4.1. Rolling Stock

Over the years, Indian Railways has not only achieved self-sufficiency in production of rolling stock (locomotives, wagons, freight trains) in the country but also supply rolling stock to other countries and other non-railway customers.

In the spirit of ‘Make in India’, crucial steps have been taken:

♤ After agreement for setting up two loco factories in India with an order book of about Rs. 40,000 crore, a similar bid process started for train sets for Rajdhani and Shatabdi services; current procurement to be increased by 30%.

♤ Production units and workshops to aim at generating annualised revenues of about Rs. 4,000 crore by 2020 through manufacturing products for domestic and international markets.

Following are the manufacturing units of Indian Railways:

♤ Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), Varanasi

♤ Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW)

♤ Rail Coach Factory (RCF), Kapurthala
