The manufacturing cost of a state-of-the-art engine comes up to $2.4 million in India, as opposed to the average cost of $ 3-4 million elsewhere. this is the price we offered to Pakistan when their visiting delegation came to India.
The Pakistan Railways also wants to buy or lease older-generation train engines, which come at a much lesser price tag of $1.4 million.
2.08 billion taka is equal to about 24.5 million dollars which will get you about 10 state of the art Indian locomotives. Now the price has gone up to 3.86 billion taka. Nobody is asking why the price has gone up so much. Who is pocketing this money???
If Bangladesh wishes to buy at this price then they are idiots. I will tell my Bangladeshi friends to follow the money and you will
find Indian congress dalals and Bangladeshi awami dalals behind this. They are the ones who are benefiting in this racket.
