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.
