Varanasi: In order to reduce carbon footprint and provide green traction, the Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW), one of the prominent loco manufacturing units of Indian Railways in Varanasi, has stopped manufacturing diesel locomotives. “As the BLW is committed towards a clean environment, it embarked upon a journey to manufacture energy efficient electric locomotives from 2016-17,” said BLW general manager Anjali Goyal. The BLW entered the domestic manufacturing industry when the first diesel-electric locomotive was dedicated to the nation by then Prime Minister late Lal Bahadur Shastri on January 3, 1964. Since then, it became India’s leading diesel locomotive manufacturing unit. According to her, BLW is among the leading locomotive manufacturers of the world. It now has the capability to design and manufacture multi-gauge and multi-traction locomotives. BLW manufactured locomotives ply not only in India but over several international railway systems across Asia and Africa
