Yo, here are some issues with the plan: 1) Scrapping 5000 outdated D-locomotives is gonna be hella expensive, like around 50000 crores (50% cost of D-locomotives), damn! 2) Trying to get or make 10-12K E-locomotives in just 2.5 years is a mad tough (practically impossible) task, bro. 3) Getting that many E-locomotives is gonna cost a crazy amount, like 1.5-1.8 lac crore Rs. in the next 2.5 years. 4) If we don't have enough E-locomotives, we gonna have to use those outdated D-locomotives on the new electrified tracks, which is not cool at all. Instead of rushing to electrify everything like crazy (planned @10000-12000 km/yr) just to hit that 100% electrification target in 3 years, it would be smarter to take it slow and do like 3000kms per year. Save that money and put it towards building new tracks and improving the super busy and money-making routes of IR.

Kuch upaaye-uphaar oopar ke plan ke:
1) 5000 D-locos ka kautilyaan akaal nau sau karod rupaye ki kharch, D-locos ke beech adhikansh kharch ki khapat (50%)
2) 2.5 saal mein 10-12K E locos ka upasarjan/ utpaadan ek bahut muskil (lagbhag asambhav) kaam hai
3) Itne saare e locos ke upasarjan ka kharch agle 2.5 saal mein antrik manovigyanik (1.5-1.8 lachh karod rupaye) hai
4) E locos ki aniyantrita mein hone se abhoomika mein gandagi ka upayog jeerna-eletrified rel-marg mein hoga, jo atyant anuchit hai
-
150% eletrification ko agle 3 saal mein paane ke liye tez raftar mein elektrifikeshan ke bajaye 3000 kms har saal ki ek samanya gati mein badhana accha hoga. Bachat huye funds ko Indian Railway ke atyadhik balvaan money spinner routes ke DFCs ka nirmaan aur dublins/ triplins mein prayog kare.

I understand your concerns about the above plan. Here are some points to consider: 1) Condemnation of 5000 D-locos is indeed a costly affair. It would be important to evaluate the economic viability of this decision and find ways to minimize the financial impact. 2) Procuring or manufacturing 10-12K E locos in 2.5 years is a challenging task. It may require significant planning and coordination between all stakeholders involved. It's crucial to ensure a realistic timeline for implementation. 3) The procurement cost of these many E locos is indeed astronomical. It would require a substantial financial commitment in the next 2.5 years. Considering the financial implications, a thorough cost-benefit analysis should be conducted. 4) The non-availability of E locos may result in the usage of D-locos on newly electrified tracks, which is not ideal. To avoid this, it would be beneficial to ensure a smooth transition from D-locos to E locos by having a sufficient number of E locos available. Instead of rapid electrification, you suggest focusing on a reasonable pace of around 3000kms per year. Utilizing the spared funds for the construction of Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs) and expanding highly congested routes of Indian Railways could be a strategic move. This would require careful balancing of priorities and allocating resources effectively.

Damn good move by the Indian government.

Bohot accha kadam hai, Bharatiya Sarkar.

Yes, it is indeed a commendable step taken by the Indian government. The efforts to improve the railway system have been visible, with the introduction of new trains, stations being upgraded, and various other initiatives. It is encouraging to see the government's commitment towards enhancing the rail services for the convenience and comfort of the passengers.

Getting or making 10-12K electric locomotives in 2.5 years is a really tough (almost impossible) job. Just to clarify, 10-12k refers to the horsepower, not the quantity.

Point 2) "2.5 saal mein 10-12 hazar E locos ka bainikaran/ utpadan karna bahut mushkil (almost impossible) task hai."

10-12k sankhya nahi hai par 10-12k HP (horsepower) hai.

I understand your point. Procuring or manufacturing 10-12k horsepower electric locomotives in just 2.5 years would indeed be a challenging task. The production process for such high horsepower locomotives requires significant time, resources, and coordination. It would be advisable to carefully analyze the feasibility of this endeavor and consider realistic timelines for the procurement or manufacturing of electric locomotives.

Why condemn? Just sell it, everything is selling anyways. Sell the engine too.

Kyoun condem karna? Bech do na, waise sab kuch bik raha hai. Engine bhi bech do.

Dosto, train engines ko bechna ek bada faisla hoga. Engine toh trains ke saath juda hua hota hai aur unka mahatva anmol hota hai. Agar engines bech diye jayenge, toh trains ki gati aur upyogita par asar padega. Isliye, engine ko bechne ki bajay unki theekhkarwaai aur acchi maintenance ka dhyaan rakhna chahiye. Agar kisi particular engine mein koi samasya ho toh hum sarkaar ya concerned authorities ko inform kar sakte hain, jisse use sahi tarike se maintain kiya jaa sake. Sath hi, agar koi engine retire ho jaata hai toh use ek museum ya historical site mein preserve karke uski value ko samjha ja sakta hai.

Pm post bhi bechna chahiye

मुझे लगता है यह एक अच्छा विचार नहीं है। रेलवे पोस्ट निजी संपत्ति है और उन्हें बेचना या व्यापार में प्रयोग करना उचित नहीं होगा। हमें सभी मिलकर इस महत्वपूर्ण संपत्ति की सुरक्षा और सुरक्षा की देखभाल करनी चाहिए ताकि हम स्थिर और सुरक्षित रेल यात्रा का आनंद ले सकें।
