The facility, to come up on the public-private-partnership mode, will roll out 120 IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) electric locos of 12,000 horse power every year.
Going strong on its green run, the railways have decided to replace the electrical multiple units (EMUs) it uses to operate 2,415 trains in Central Railway and Western Railway zones with those running on three-phase Insulated Gate Bi-polar Transistor (IGBT) technology.
