Siemens Ltd states that the new locomotives will also help in saving traction energy cost which in turn will minimise the fuel expenses as well as carbon emissions. 

Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) pre-commissioned the indigenous 9,000 HP electric locomotive and the trials to which will commence soon. 

Tilak Raj Seth, Executive VP and Head, Mobility, Siemens, said that the initiative is an important milestone when it comes to complete electrification of the Indian Railways.
