en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 26, Alstom, together with the Indian railway joint venture Madhepura Electric Locomotive Private Limited, initiated a new five-year locomotive maintenance contract valued at €107 million. The contract covers WAG-12B electric locomotives, with operations primarily based at the MELPL Nagpur depot.

This locomotive maintenance contract includes comprehensive maintenance for 250 WAG-12B electric locomotives, as well as depot infrastructure upkeep and rapid fault response. The WAG-12B locomotive, with a power output of 12,000 horsepower, can haul loads of 6,000 tons on dedicated freight corridors at a maximum operating speed of 120 km/h, primarily serving India's rail freight system.

Alstom will continue to deploy rapid response teams equipped with tools and spare parts to improve fleet availability and on-site handling efficiency. This locomotive maintenance contract extends the previous cooperation between the two parties and plays a practical role in the operation of heavy-haul freight vehicles, depot maintenance capabilities, and the full lifecycle management of electric locomotives on Indian railways. Subsequent execution results will depend on maintenance organization, spare parts supply, and vehicle operating intensity.
