Pak makes fresh offer for engines, Rlys wary

What kind of cr@#y a%$ citizenry you have! Your govt. tries to get new engines and you start cursing them!? Chinese engines cannot be imported due to SC petitions in your own country. The same is the case with American engines with kickback allegations. Both Indian and Pakistani railways have similar track infra thanks to the British so Indian engines can simply ride into Pakistan (so to speak) through Wagah - Atari border. The older indian engines being talked about here (WDM 3D and WDM 2) are robust and cost effective designs which can be used for both passenger and freight trains. Try and get your railways back on track!! Stupid "ghairat" crap will take you nowhere !

WDM - 3D

WDM - 2A

The Chinese engines fleet available in Pakistan has gone out of service because of the reported lack of support from Chinese suppliers.

The Indian Railways has 4,214 electric and 6,000 diesel engines in its inventory. Approximately, 500 engines roll out from its two public sector manufacturing units each year, but the public transporter is still unable to meet its domestic demand of around 700 train engines annually.

The Indian Railways have remained massively short of its Vision-2020 target of manufacturing 1,200 train engines annually.

what happened I think is, Pakistan Railways have not gone for Chinese "After Sales Support" or Technical support for the Chinese Engines they bought resulted in failure. imo, rather than asking Indians for locos, Pakistanis must ask for support from China for their railway engines. using "used engine oil" and other consumables may have been the reason for the early failure of Chinese Engines. Imo, Indian railways cannot help Pakistan in this juncture.

Not possible to provide engine to Pakistan …Coz of high local demand…

After the completion of Dedicated Freight corridors in next 3-4yrs, Indian Railways would be needing hundreds of new engines to be used in the new routes obtained to the maximum level. We should not sell any engines to Pakistan.

why is Pakistan becoming so india centric..much better quality engines can be had from China if our own corrupt politicians will not demand kickbacks and the corporate corruption in India isnt any better than China or Pakistan. it looks like PPP is selling Pakistan to India to fill their own pockets.

This says it all.

When it comes to India, all import should stop and make it in Pakistan to benefit our economy.

When it comes to China, we should continue buying much more in China and making nothing ourselves.

Pakistan is not becoming India centric.

you leased chinese engines..unluckily they are not usable because no after sales service provided.
So better go with Indian engines
