Pakistan Railways have 2334 traction motors for working 409 diesel electric locomotives.
The normal life of a new traction motor is 12 years. Approximately 79% traction motors have
outlived their economic life resulting in (a) lesser tractive effort available and (b) less reliability of
locomotives & will be 100% overage by 2016-2017, further aggravating the situation in case
overaged traction motors are not replaced or rehabilitated on urgent basis.
Pakistan Railways requires an efficient and reliable locomotive fleet on sustainable basis to
achieve its operational targets and to eliminate operational delays. However, funds allocation for
the routine maintenance of locomotives has been quite inadequate viz a viz the requirement. As
such it is not possible to maintain the Locomotive fleet in optimum operational condition.
The rehabilitation of these 300 traction motors will result in enhanced haulage capacity of
57 operational locomotives due to provision of full compliment of Traction Motors. The
improvement in availability and reliability will help to restore the freight traffic on the railway
network which has been reduced for the past many months mainly on account of shortage of
reliable locomotives. Even the passenger trains which used to operate at a level of 241 trains per
day during the year 2010 have been merely reduced to 96 trains.
The availability of reliable locomotives will help to improve train punctuality and will
restore public confidence in railway transport. This will lead to improved financial health of the
railway network. The provision of rehabilitated traction motors of these locomotives will help to
improve railway share in national freight market which will be beneficial both in terms of fuel
efficiency as well as environmental degradation.
In the foregoing perspective, it is absolutely inevitable that locomotives are fitted with full
compliment of traction motors as per design of the locomotive to achieve their optimum
utilization.
Pakistan Railways owns a fleet of 409 Diesel Electric locomotives out of which 239
locomotives have outlived their normal economic life of 20 years by Ist March, 2014 and their
average life (including rehabilitated life of 15 years) is 35 years.

The Business Plan of Pakistan Railways envisaged an average growth of freight traffic at 7.6% per
annum for the years (2006-2010) at par with economic growth. It is estimated that freight transport
demand will increase at slightly higher rate than GDP growth in the years to come.
The future freight traffic in terms of tonnes kilometers (TKMs) estimated by JICA Study
Team for Pakistan is given below:-
The previous privatization policy is mainly responsible for the steep decline of Pakistan Railways
due to which all the investments (even those approved by ECNEC) were either frozen or placed on
back burner. The decline in freight traffic is partly attributed to less availability of locomotives.
During 2012-13, at an average only eight (8) locomotives were available on freight pool, as a
result freight traffic was diverted to roads, placing a severe strain on the capacity of the roads to
absorb the impact of increasing freight traffic. The daily availability of locomotives on freight
pool for the last 22 years is shown as under:-

Pakistan Railways at present has a total of 409 locomotives, but the number of operational
locomotives available is only 200 for all types of traction duties including passenger, freight and
departmental services. As shown in Table: 1 below, out of the existing stock, 209 locomotives
have gone out of service on account of deferred maintenance. The worst hit has been the freight
train operation as availability reduced from 107 in 1990 to only 8 in 2012-13 while even the
commitment for passenger trains could not be fulfilled.

At present 200 locomotives are available for active duty, which is higher than the average
availability for last two years which was 151 during 2012-13, the lowest in the last twenty years.
Even this fleet is working on lower notches with less compliment of traction motors and weak
power assemblies, which in itself entails a variety of operational constraints. The operation and
maintenance of locomotives has become a herculean task in the wake of foregoing perspective.
Their working period has been over stretched and mandatory maintenance schedules overly
compromised, which aggravates the effect on their mechanical condition.
As can be seen from above table availability of locomotives on freight pool has been
decreased from 97 locomotives during 2007-08 to 8 locomotives during 2012-2013. As a result
there was 72% reduction in freight K.Ms i.e. traffic reduced from 6187.3 million tone kilometers
during 2007-2008 to 419.2141 million tone kilometers in 2012-2013. On the contrary about 140
passenger trains have been cancelled during 2010-11 and in the first half of the 2011-12 thus
entailing 17% reduction in passenger kilometers i.e. 24730.726 million passenger kilometers
during 2007-2008 to 17,388.413 million passenger kilometers during 2012-2013 @ 6 % average

per year. This dismal state of affairs did not develop in days, rather the situation deteriorated
gradually over a period of time due to the following main reasons:-
Suspension or short supply of spare parts due to paucity of funds under revenue budget.
Deferment of preventive maintenance schedules as per OEM instructions.
Locomotives allowed operations with lesser number of traction motors.
The supply chain of spare parts for Diesel Electric locomotive remained erratic, due to
meager availability of funds in the last many years, hence deferred maintenance further aggravated
the condition of diesel locomotives. As a general guidelines diesel spares equivalent to US$ 30
million are required annually for proper upkeep of a fleet size of around 400-500 locomotives. The
fund allocation during last twelve years, given as under will amplify the situation:-

It has been observed that more than 15 locomotives are shelved out of service per year on
account of accidents and non availability of major imported spares. If the system is not augmented
with Traction Motors, it will result in further decline in the net availability of locomotives on the
system which would adversely affect the revenue potential of both the Freight and Passenger
Businesses.
Pakistan Railways 409 has a fleet of diesel electric locomotives out of which only 200
Nos. are currently performing actively. Most of these locomotives are running with 3-4 traction
motors against the requirement of 6 traction motors. Resultantly, full benefits cannot be achieved
with the investments being made in other sectors such as track, signaling, etc. It is therefore,
7
imperative that for the purpose of integrated planning, locomotives are provided with full
complement of traction motors. Currently the break up of 2334 Traction Motors available with
Pakistan Railway is as under:
Diesel Electric Locomotives:
Present available facilities for rehabilitation and requirement of machines and tools:
Traction motor repair activities were generally confined to normal overhaul, repair and
rewinding of armatures and to some extent, repair to axle caps. Facilities for partial
rehabilitation of traction motors were first set up in the Traction Motor Rehabilitation shops at
Moghalpura, Lahore in 1986-87 with the technical and financial assistance of Canadian
International Development Authority (CIDA). These facilities were further augmented in
1987-88, under Modernization of Locomotive Maintenance Facilities Programme financed by
World Bank. A project financed by the World Bank for Procurement /Rehabilitation of 748
Traction Motors has successfully been completed during 1991-98 in Locomotive Shops
Moghalpura . Now facilities for almost complete rehabilitation of traction motors are available
in Moghalpura workshops. The facilities and know how for complete rehabilitation of traction
motors, magnet frames and for testing of traction motors after rehabilitation, is available but
need up-gradation and modernization of available facilities. Within this limitation Moghalpura
8
workshops can at present rehabilitate about 16 traction motors per month. To augment the
existing facilities, in order to undertake complete rehabilitation of traction motors as well as to
increase the present capacity of the shops to about 22 traction motors per month, essential
Plant & Machinery items at cost of Rs. 537.676 million including Rs. 400.000 (4 million US$)
Million F.EC have been included . It is expected that it would be possible to rehabilitate 300
traction motors upto 2015-16 with following scope of work:-
B) MAGNET FRAME
Complete rehabilitation of magnet frame including rebuilding and machining axle bores,
re-alignment of frame head and commutator end bearing housing bores, building up,
drilling and re-tapping of all stud and bolt holes and non thermal stress relieving.
Replacement of all fastenings with new ones.
Parallelism of bore with centre of axle housing and centre of armature housing bore.
Replacement of main field & commutating coils with new one having H-Class insulation.
Installation of new carbon brush holders, brushes and leads.
Application of new axle caps and axle cap bolts.
Application of new pinion.
Application of new Commutator End and pinion End bearings.
Application of new wick pad assembly at both ends including carrier plate.
Application of new support bearings (Axle lining) on both sides.
Replacement of all mechanical parts like frame head, bearing housings, bearing
collars, bearing caps & seals etc with new one.

Any other work which is essentially required to rehabilitate the Traction Motor to bring it
up to the current OEM (EMD) standards.
The successful bidder will be solely responsible to rehabilitate complete traction motors as
per specification with collaboration of local Pakistan Railways staff.
The bidder will arrange training at site as well as at bidder‟s works of selected staff of
Pakistan Railways.
C) TEST.
All necessary stage wise and final load tests as per relevant values as defined in MIs
specifications essentially covering following tests:-
i) Dimensional checking.

cost). Since about 80 locomotives are fitted with 6 traction motors, hence the
maintenance of one traction motor will be around Rs. 0.137 million. These costs have
been assumed to remain the same like freight charges / fares which have also been
frozen like-wise. Any increase in maintenance and operating costs will be charged
directly to passenger fares/ charges in future to maintain the present I.R.R.
1). Pakistan Railways have 2334 traction motors for working 409 diesel electric
locomotives. The normal life of a new traction motor is 12 years. Approximately 79%
traction motors have outlived their economic life resulting in (a) lesser tractive effort
available and (b) less reliability of locomotives & will be 100% overage up to 2016-
2017, further aggravate the situation in case the overage traction motors are not replaced
or rehabilitated in the coming years. Pakistan Railways requires an efficient and reliable
locomotive fleet on sustainable basis to achieve its operational targets and to eliminate
operational delays. However funds allocation, for the routine maintenance of
locomotives has been quite inadequate viz a viz the actual requirement. As such it has
not been possible to keep the Locomotive fleet in optimum operational condition.
2). Passenger and freight traffic targets for 2017-18 have been fixed in the Business
Plan (2012-13 to 2017-18) as 32,800 MPKMs and 25,200 MTKM. As can be seen
from Table:1, availability of locomotives on freight pool has been decreased from 97
locomotives during 2007-08 to 8 locomotives during 2012-2013, having 72%
reduction in freight K.M i.e. traffic reducing from 6187.3 million tonne kilometers
during 2007-2008 to 419.2141 million tonnes kilometer in 2012-2013. Similarly about
140 passenger trains have been cancelled during 2010-11 and in the first half of 2011-12
thus causing 17% reduction in passenger kilometers i.e. from 24730.726 million
passenger kilometers during 2007-2008 to 17,388.413 million passenger kilometers
during 2012-2013 @ 6% average per year. On the contrary passenger traffic has
increased by 4% per year during 2000-2001 to 2008-2009, i.e. from 19,589 MPKM to
25,702 and decreased 30% during 2009-2010 to 2012-2013, i.e. 23,522 MPKM to
17,388 MPKM @ 8% per annum. The freight traffic has increased by 4% per year during
2000-20001 to 2008-2009 i.e. from 4,519 million TKM to 5,896 million TKM and
decreased by 91% during 2009-10 to 2012-2013 from 4,846.892 to 419.241 million
tonnes @ 22.75% per annum. The decrease of passenger traffic and freight traffic was
due to less availability of locomotive as already explained in above para.

The Rehabilitation Schedule of 300 Traction Motors under this project is as under:-
After rehabilitation of 300 traction motors 50 Locomotives will be available with full
complement of traction motors and their allied parts including bull gear, suspension bearing, wick
pad and gear case resulting that the availability and reliability will be considerably improved,
ineffective percentage will be reduced, thus sustainability increasing the productivity of these
locomotives.
METHODOLOGY
CAPITAL COST
Capital cost has been divided into two distinct groups as under:-
Group-I.
Rs. 529.676 million including Rs. 400.000 million (US$ 4 million) FEC have been provided for up
gradation in the existing maintenance facilities, and up-gradation of re-building of magnet frame
of traction motors, inspection and electrical testing equipment for traction motors including test
console and infrastructure required for enhancement of maintenance facilities in Traction Motors
Shop, Locomotives Shops, Moghalpura. The Group-I facilities will be used not only for
rehabilit`ation of traction motors, re-manufactured/assembled under this project, but also for
traction motors that will be re-manufactured/rehabilitated in future and also for existing traction
motors. However, since the total amount is small as compared to the total project cost and also as
accurately apportioning cost is cumbersome, therefore, 25 % cost of the group-I has been charged
to this project.
14
Group-II.
Import of spares required for the rehabilitation of 300 traction motors (60 Nos. GE-761 A23, 96
Nos. D-77/78, 78 Nos. D-29 and 66 Nos. Hitachi 395 HP, also include local/ indigenous material,
consumable material and labour charges including over head charges and utility bills costing Rs.
1059.259 million including Rs. 712.908 million FEC. The cost of rehabilitation of traction motors
has been charged according to the procurement of spares and schedule of rehabilitation. New
armature and other parts are being imported not only to create a positive impact on train operations
expeditiously but also to serve as a standard reference to up-grade skills of technical staff.
Benefits (earnings)
Financial.
Benefits (earnings)
Earning per traction motor has been worked out keeping following aspects/factors in view:-
i. D.E. Locomotives designed for 6 and 4 traction motors should, in principle, be
allowed to run with full complement of traction motors and not with less number.
ii. Average total number of traction motors on locos utilized on goods, passenger and
shunting services is 1840 due to shortage of traction motors.
iii. Increase in revenue from freight traffic has been worked out by multiplying freight
earnings by a factor 0.552 as explained in the calculations (given in para vii below).
iv. Earnings per traction motor have been multiplied by the number of traction motors
rehabilitated from 2005 to 2012.
v. Life of new traction motor is 12 years and that of rehabilitated traction motor is 8
years.
vi. Efficiency and work out put of an average traction motor fitted on the locomotive is
about 50% of that a normal traction motor.
vii. Utilization of locomotives during 2008-09
On goods = 94 Nos.
On passenger = 190 Nos.
On shunting = 84 Nos.
Sub Total :- = 368 Nos.
Ineffective = 114 Nos.
Under heavy repair = 41 Nos.
Grand Total = 523 Nos.
viii. 79% of the total number of traction motors fitted on locomotives are overage.

Earning per Traction Motor
* Economic
Benefits to the economy are assumed to be as under:-
16
* Social
Benefits with indicators.
i) Improvement in quality of services to be
rendered to public/ customer.
ii) Improvement in standards of efficiency.
iii) Good will of public through punctual
running of trains.
* Environmental.
Environmental impact assessment For the haulage of one metric tonne over a
negative /positive. distance of one kilometer by road, 18,000
BTUs are consumed, whereas by rail only
3,000 BTUs are consumed for the same
distance and, thus pollution generating ratio
between road haulage and Railway is
approximately 6:1. No negative impact of
this project is anticipated on the
environment.
