Gladly not 'them' themselves but Indian private sector (L&T) + the freight EMU is very interesting, it will be enormously beneficial for e-commerce ++ finally a GoI that is taking logistics costs seriously, when did anyone before the Modi govt even mention this subject? For the first time...

I had assumed VB was T18 but instead it’s a series like the Shinkansen. They are even using theShinkansen series as a benchmark (first iteration was ~160Kmph like T18). It seems like the goal is in 10-15 years down the line to have an indigenously designed HSR to rival (current day)Shinkansen...

You’re ignoring everything I’ve said. Regardless of whatever issues they may have faced, WAG12 will be suitably modified and delivered. It’s beyond the point where this can change and it has nothing to do with loving imports, the deal is done.

Can’t compare white elephant that it FGFA to proven Prima-2 and India never got as far as signing an actual order for FGFAs. India HAS signed a deal for 800 WAG-12. Nothing that WAG-11 now does will change this, already hundreds of people are employed by Alstom in India just to make WAG-12 in...

How the hell can one man change the entire infrastructure of India in less than 5 years? Progress is happening but given the neglect that’s been allowed for decades it will take time to really show results

Doesn’t matter. Alstom will address whatever teething issues there may be. 1) order has been agreed with Alstom, there is ZERO going back now regardless of what WAG-11 does. 2) even though it is 11,0000HP, what is WAG-11’s axle load? 22 tons? Compared to the 25tons that DFCs are designed for...

Alstom are THE global leaders in Loco tech, they have a contract worth billions and 800+ units in order, they will not fail- they can’t afford to. The product they deliver to India will be world class
