Links to details of all Electric Locomotive active in Indian Railways updated as of July 2016.

Future of Indian Railways
Locomotives
Locomotives are the driving force ahead of railway rakes carrying hundreds of thousands of Indians in this huge maze of railway lines in India , an a modernisation is a must to ensure they continue to work.
I try to post out the present , ongoing and planned projects to replace and augment the locomotive roaster of IR.
1. Diesel Locomotive Works in in a partnership with General Electric, which has invested ₹2,052 crore (US$305 million) for its construction. It will supply Indian Railways with over 1000 locomotives of modified GE Evolution Series Locomotives to Indian Railways of power 4,400HP and 6,000HP. The Evolution Series was named as one of the "10 Locomotives That Changed Railroading" by industry publication Trains Magazine. The Evolution Series engine is a 12-cylinder diesel engine, whose performance is the same as its 16-cylinder predecessor and that too by consuming lesser fuel. If its fuel efficiency is to be represented in numbers, this engine uses up to 5% less fuel during its lifetime. What’s more is that the Evolution Series engine reduces pollution by more than 70% fewer particulates and 60% fewer nitrogen oxide emissions.
2. Electric Locomotive Works with Alstom, which has invested ₹1,293.57 crore (US$192 million). The factories will provide Indian Railways with 800 electric locomotives of 12,000 horse power each. They will especially be used to power very long goods rake at the upcoming dedicated freight corridors , while being much more efficient.
3. High Power Goods Locomotives from Japan, for Westen Dedicated Freight Corridor. Of the 200 locomotives, 40 will be imported from Japan, with the remaining 160 manufactured on home soil, according to the Press Trust of India. The 9,000HP electric engines will help Indian Rail haul 6,000t of freight per locomotive, compared to the existing capacity of 5,000t.

4. WDG5, 5500HP locomotive designed and built in India based upon EMD series. Built by DLW they are the most powerful 2 stroke 16 cylinder diesel engine in the world.
5. Improved EMDs , 4,500HP High Power Goods and Passenger Locomotives are under construction by DLW , they feature many improvements over the original EMD design , they will replace a majority of Alcos.
6. WAP5 / WAP7 / WAG 9
All the three are cousins , improved upon consistently for the subcontinent. They have a daunting task to replace the older electric locomotives of IR , and rapid electrification means more and more are required.
Note :- EMUs/MEMU/DEMU and Train Sets not included.

Dear @Ankit Kumar 002, the last one is actually a Chinese locomotive with speed of 200-250km/h.Links to details of all Electric Locomotive active in Indian Railways updated as of July 2016.

Please check again. I tried on different browsers and ISP, and they seem to be visible. in case there still exists some problem, i'll reload them. these are png files and sometimes owing to size, we may encounter problems.

Yes sir, now got it..
What's the status of Kashmir linking project?
And engines? We will ones who can tolerate such extreme temperatures as well carry loads through heights and mountains/tunnels..
I remember the diamond cutter blades used for building tunnels.. a huge machine..

Yes sir, Pleasure having you here.. i remember some of your posts from HSR time..
I hope China can help us in Delhi Chennai Freight Corridor work.. It would be pretty awesome if commercials work out to be win win for both sides as well..

Indian railways roadmap for initiating High speed rail on existing 1676 mm Broad Gauge track
@Abingdonboy @Roybot (sir i hope this answers a question u asked in TALGO trial thread) @gslv mk3 @Stephen Cohen
So you can see that this loco will work easily be it desert lines near Jodhpur, Bikaner or moist land of Kerala or Freezing cold of Kashmir or dusty lines passing through farmlands of Gangetic plains.
As far as traction performance is concerned, here is how it will work
http://dfccil.gov.in/upload/1375709622748.pdf
Such specifications are available for all locomotives (Diesel or electric) and based on same railway issues guidelines on how to use that locomotive (meaning single or in multiple unit configuration) on a territory under load.
What it means is that a locomotive can be run at a given speed with a given load at a given slope of track based on value you get from chart. You'll notice, steeper the slope, lower will be the hauling capacity or for a given load, lower will be the balancing speed.
So if load is higher or track section is steeper, you need to put 2 or more locomotives.
@Abingdonboy @Roybot (sir i hope this answers a question u asked in TALGO trial thread) @gslv mk3 @Stephen Cohen
Existing locomotive will work in Kashmir as well.
I'm quoting a case of proposed 9000 HP 6 axle locomotive proposed for Western DFC which will be supplied by Hitachi Toshiba Mitsubishi consortium and will work on Hot ambient conditions of Rajasthan and Gujarat. IR mentions a specification as follows:

Being the most populous two nations with significantly complicated geographic conditions, China and India are dominating the 21st century's infra construction. India lags behind so far, but I think she is speeding up very quickly. We are building while others are busy twittering Je suis *****.

Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed train fare to be less than airfare: Suresh Prabhu
NEW DELHI: Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor would be completed in six years and its fare will be less than airfare, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu said today.
Maintaining that the ambitious project is doable, Prabhu said in Lok Sabha during Question Hour that the high-speed train project would be cost-effective.
The high speed bullet train is expected to cover 508 km between Mumbai and Ahmedabad in about two hours, running at a maximum speed of 350 kmph and operating speed of 320 kmph. At present, Duronto Express takes about seven hours to cover the distance between the two financial centres.
When it was pointed out that huge funds has been given for the project which might hamper those in other parts of the country, Prabhu said "there was no regional bias. Every state has got more than double than earlier."
The high speed rail project has been sanctioned with technical and financial assistance from the government of Japan and the joint feasibility study of the project has already been done by Japanese International Agency.
Estimated to cost about Rs 97,636 crore, 81 per cent of the funding for the 508 km long Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor project will come in form of a loan from Japan. The project cost includes possible cost escalation, interest during construction and import duties.
The project is being funded by Japan with a soft loan for 50 years at 0.1 per cent annual interest with 15 years' moratorium. Rolling stock and other equipment like signalling and power system will be imported from Japan as per the loan agreement.
Railways has spelt out its policy with regard to running of high speed and semi-high speed trains by identification of potential routes for both kinds of train services.
Prabhu said feasibility studies for other high speed corridors have been awarded to various railway companies. Delhi-Mumbai high speed corridor has been awarded to the consortium of the Third Railway Survey and Design Institute Group Corporation (Chinese consultant) and Lahmeyer International from India.
Feasibility study of high speed corridors on Mumbai- Chennai, Delhi-Kolkata, Delhi-Nagpur and Mumbai-Nagpur have also been awarded to diffent global consultants.
Prabhu said railways have identified nine corridors for feasibility of semi-high speed rail.
The semi-high speed routes are Delhi-Chandigarh, Chennai-Bengaluru-Mysore, Delhi-Kanpur, Nagpur-Bilaspur, Mumbai-Goa, Mumbai-Ahmedabad, Chennai-Hyderabad and Nagpur-Secunderabd.
