Are India's Railway engines indigenous?

[jarves]

An earlier poster tells me Bullet train technology isn't complex and India can develop it in 1-2 years. But we can't develop traction motors for WAP-4 and WAP-5 which was developed decades ago abroad?

We are devloping it,its all about economics,see my post 26 also.

I did check your post #26. Just goes to prove my point. We manufacture indigenously but critical technology is outsourced from abroad. And bullet train technology is apparently not very complex for some folks!

It's getting quite clear who the trolls really are. It's one thing to be patriotic but another to live in fools paradise.

We used to outsource from abroad but now we manufacture it here in India.There is nothing called 100% indigenous.

You don't get it, do you? We manufacture it here in India but the technology (90's) is NOT Indian.

There is nothing called 100% indigenous.

So, then Sukhoi is also indigenous by your logic. After all, we've replaced some components like avionics with Indian ones.

Now stop being a buffoon by defending the indefensible.

Kirloskar is already developing them

Chinese HSR trainsets use Mitsubishi/Hitachi traction motor technology too.So?

It can be considered as Indigenous made

Let's face it: we suck at indigenous manufacture of strategic platforms. Railways is a strategic area and we are miles behind what our contemporary nations are doing.

Still developing 80-90's technology. So the answer to my original question is 'No. We don't have indigenous engines in our railways'

And the buffoon who called me a troll for no reason, please be rest assured that Bullet Train Technology is extremely complex technology. It will take us 6-10 years (only development without testing) to make the technology from scratch.

We seem to be miles behind is almost every sector. Smaller nations like South Korea (half the size of Gujarat) are making tremendous progress. I'm wondering if our PSU's are to blame for this. Surely privatizing them can solve the problem.

How do you know its 90's technology?The indigenous engine's for our locomotives?16 cylinder engine used is Indian developed one

too much of the Sardar Speaks . . hmmm

They are not indigenous. Most are licensed copies or directly imported.

WAP-4 has Hitachi traction motors from Japan.

There are many other examples.

You did. Go back and check.

WAP 5 was imported in 1995.

What about Mitsubishi/Hitachi Traction motors on your HSR train sets?
