For the first four months of this fiscal year, major production units of Railways failed their manufacturing goals for coaches, wheels, locomotives, and other rolling stock due to supply chain interruptions brought on by the Ukraine crisis.
According to documents obtained by the news agency PTI, "during the first four months of this fiscal, the manufacturing of these crucial components fell considerably below the proportionate target."
The subject of production shortage up till July 25 was brought up at a review meeting with the general managers of the companies, presided over by Railway Board Chairman and CEO VK Tripathi.
Because Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (MEMU) and EMU trains are used on short- and medium-distance lines, as well as those that link urban regions with suburban localities, the problem is more serious.
The records stated that the production of MEMU rakes–an arrangement of coupled coaches that constitutes a train but does not include the locomotive–has been "abysmally low," which is a severe reason for concern and requires prompt attention.
At the discussion, there were also concerns voiced about the lack of MEMU/EMU electric propulsion systems, 60 KVA transformers, and switch cabinets, according to PTI.
The GMs were urged to "address swiftly" such problems in order to prevent a "shortfall in output."
According to the document, the output of locomotives during this fiscal year up until July was about 28% lower than the goals set.
Documents show that 40 locomotive breakdowns were discovered in the 100 days leading up to June and that these failures required severe action.
