The company won the 3.5-billion euro order in 2015, making it the largest foreign direct investment in the Indian railway sector. These rail engines are expected to transform the country’s heavy freight transportation landscape by increasing the average speed and carrying capacity of trains carrying goods.

Manufactured at Alstom Madhepura facility in #Bihar , the locomotives are capable of hauling nearly 6,000 tonnes at a top speed of 120 km/h.

The French rolling stock maker #alstom said it will complete the order for 800 fully electric 12,000 horsepower locomotives for the Indian Railways in the next five years.


The #WAG12B locomotives are one of the world's most powerful electric engines that are made in India, are already being used for carrying goods on major freight routes across the country, including on the ambitious dedicated freight corridors.

#IndianRailways aims to more than double its cargo loading to 3,000 million tonnes by 2027 from 1,418 MT in FY22 and Alstom's e-locos are surely powering the freight revolution in Indian Freight Industry
