Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled India's first 12000 horsepower electric locomotive from Bihar's Madhepura locomotive factory on April 10, 2018. Developed at Madhepura's Electric Locomotive Factory at Bihar, the all-electric high-speed train is the first big Make-in-India project completed by Alstom of France. Each double section locomotive will have a capacity of 6000 tonnes. With a speed of 120 km/hr, the high-speed all-electric locomotive will reduce the congestion faced by Indian Railways. The heavy haulage locomotives will be used transport coal and iron ore. With 100% electrification, the new locomotive will not only bring down operating costs for the Railways but will significantly cut down greenhouse gas emissions as well.
