India put first step towards new age when it took manufacturing of steam locomotives in India. The first steam loco No. F-734 was built in 1895 by the Ajmer workshop of the Rajputana Malwa Railway.

Kolkata Metro India inherited rail network after independence which needed substantial improvement. In order to connect important cities many lines were re-routed and new line were constructed. Indian Railways was formed by amalgamation of 42 railways owned by the former Indian princely states. The network stood at 55,000 kms after independence in 1947. In 1952, the existing rail networks were divided into six Zones for administrative purpose. Further with prospering of the economy Indian Railway made all railway production indigenous. 1985 onwards steam locomotives were phased out and electric and diesel locomotives took their place. 04 2Rail Electrification Railway Electrification Path Towards Development 2.1 Electrification Map 05 Post-independence electrification of the Howrah- Burdwan section was carried out at 3000 V DC. EMU services were started in Howrah-Sheoraphuli th section by Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru on 14 Dec. 1957. Production of Electric locomotives was simultaneously taken up indigenously at Chittaranjan Loco-motive Works (CLW) in 1960 and first 1500 V DC electric locomotive for Bombay Area Lokmanya was flagged off th on 14 Oct. 1961 by Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. 2.2 Brief History of Railway Electrification in Indian Railways Inaugural Train at Victoria Terminus, Bombay First Train on electric traction started on 1500 V DC System from Bombay Victoria Terminus to rd Kurla Harbour on 3 Feb. 1925. This was the turning point in development of Railways and growth of sub-urban transport system for Mumbai City as also for other metropolitan cities. th Madras was second metro city to get electric traction in Southern Railway on 11 May 1931. Upto Independence, India had only 388 rkm of electrified tracks. 06 25000 V (25 kV AC) Alternating Current traction System: Keeping in line with international standards for electric traction 25 kV AC system was adopted in IR in 1961. French National Railways (SNCF) provided initial technical assistance and consultancy. In wake of industrial development in Eastern region and growth in freight traffic which could not be managed by steam traction, electrification was introduced in early 1960s from Raj Kharswan to Dongoaposi on South Eastern Railway. With a view to provide continuity of traction system, Howrah - Burdwan section of Eastern Railway and Madras Beach - Tambaram section of Southern Railway were converted to 25 kV AC system by 1968.
