Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Dahod, excitement is building around the inauguration of the newly completed Dahod Locomotive Manufacturing Workshop, a major infrastructure milestone for Indian Railways. Speaking ahead of the Prime Minister's arrival, Vineet Abhishek, Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of Western Railway, highlighted the swift progress made at the facility.

"You can see right now behind me is the first locomotive that has been manufactured at this workshop. The foundation stone of Dahod locomotive manufacturing workshop was laid just a couple of years back in 2022 to be precise, and within 3 years, as we can see this production centre is completely ready to be inaugurated shortly," CPRO said. According to Abhishek, the workshop has been designed with a production capacity of 120 locomotives per year, with potential scalability to 150 units annually depending on future demand.
