50 Indian railway engines to chug into Pakistan

[Machete]

Its not a nice move such things helps Pakistan to improve economically at some extent. Paralyzed economy of Pakistan facilitates in reduction of anti-Indian activities then why India unnecessarily helping them I don't know.

Have the South Koreans offered all that? Not to my knowledge.

Yup!!! Many times. But they offered in a way that they are going to operate these and will give some profit to Pakistan Railways as they will run on the rails owned by Pakistan Railways.

It is a must to get Pakistan's economy up and running. If things continue in the same direction as they are now, Pakistan may not remain in the same shape!

They need a better economy. India will also benefit.

I don't believe leasing engines as a good idea because it will fail to achieve CBM which we are expecting, the past had always proved that.

After evaluating performance on tracks PR will order more.

Also funding is an issue.

This happened exactly one year back.....

Import From India: Pakistan Railways sued over locomotives lease

LAHORE:

The Lahore High Court on Friday issued notice to the federal government on a petition challenging Pakistan Railways’ decision to lease locomotives from India.

Justice Muhammad Khalid Mehmood Khan ordered the railways secretary to file a reply within two weeks.

Advocate Ansar Jaspal had filed the petition saying that the federal government had decided to lease 50 locomotives from India to improve train service.

He said that the Risalpur Factory had the capacity to manufacture 25 locomotives per year and the government should utilise its own resources and should not lease these from India.

The petitioner also asked the court to direct the railways to renovate its 450 out-of-order locomotives.

I wonder what happened to that case?

NEW DELHI - After months of dilly-dallying, India has finally agreed to sell and lease out its locomotives to Pakistan, thus helping the neighbouring country restart its defunct train services, reported Hindustan Times on Wednesday.
In the first-of-its-kind deal, the Indian railways will deliver 50 refurbished American Locomotive Company (ALCO) technology locos at an estimated cost of Rs 350 crore.
Another set of 50 new locos of a higher horsepower (3000-3500) will also be leased out. Lease charges of Indian locomotives work out to Rs 900 per hour or Rs 21,600 per day.
Pakistan is expected to get delivery of the first instalment of 10 refurbished engines of 2,000-2,600 horsepower capacity sometime next year.
The proposed arrangement will include a liberalised visa regime for Indian engineers who will be required to visit Pakistan for training purposes.
While yearly maintenance of engines is proposed to be done at the Indian Railways shed at Ludhiana, the Pakistan government has agreed to ramp up facilities at its railway shed at Mughalpura near Lahore.
Running 19,000 trains over a 54,000-kilometre network each day, the Indian Railways is hugely stressed for train engines.
“But the production units will churn out train engines in bigger numbers in the coming years. Issues with Pakistan have now been sorted out. We will shortly start working on the modifications and fix up the used locos to be delivered to Pakistan,” officials said. With 137 of its fleet of 494 locos dysfunctional, train operations in Pakistan have virtually collapsed and annual losses worth a whopping Rs 25 billion have been reported. In the last four years, the Pakistan government has provided Rs 93 billion subsidy to its railways department, Rs 32 billion as assistance for development projects and Rs 14 billion as overdraft from the State Bank of Pakistan, Railway Minister Ghulam Ahmed Bilour said recently.
