800 WAP5/7 is too high (annually). It won't be possible to turn out those many locos in one year, unless of course, multiple locomotive factories exist across India :P

WAP-4s will be be active service for atleast 30 more years.......so you are not going to miss those red beauties anytime sooner........
Btw....in this way....Old isn't Gold....Old consumes more gold.......A P5/P7 is more energy efficient than a than a P-4!

not at all.
current RM is trying to raise funds, but that is far from what would be required here.
consider this: each P5/P7 costs upwards of INR 12 crore. 800 of them will require around INR 10000 crore
each LHB coach costs
...
more...
INR 1.5-2 Crore. even if we accept lower value, 40,000 will cost INR 60,000 crore
100,000 ICF coaches= approx INR 80,000 crore.
For an organization that is working at Operating ratio close to 0.9 funds of this magnitude don't exists.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
