‘Made in India’ locomotives exported via Mundra Port to West Africa

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) at Mundra has enabled the export of advanced “Made in India” railway locomotives to Guinea, West Africa, marking another milestone in India’s growing industrial and export journey. 

Manufactured at the Locomotive Factory in Marhora, Saran, Bihar, these engines reflect India’s robust manufacturing capacity and engineering excellence. In collaboration with Indian Railways and the Government of India, about 1-2 locomotives will be shipped every month, with a total of nearly 150 locomotives planned for export. Designed to run on the 1.435-metre standard gauge, the engines travel across India’s broad-gauge network to Mundra Port for shipment.

The Mundra Port team expertly managed the bogie transfer, transportation and heavy cargo handling, ensuring seamless logistics. “We are showcasing India’s capabilities not just in machinery, but also in the world,” said a Mundra Port spokesperson. 

From the factories of Bihar to the shores of Gujarat, this achievement highlights India’s integrated supply chain, supported by Adani Ports’ world class infrastructure. “India is on a continuous path of growth — we are building, moving and delivering for the world,” added an APSEZ official. 

This milestone underscores India’s strengthening role in global trade while boosting local economies, creating jobs and attracting foreign investment. With the successful export of complex cargo like locomotives, Mundra Port continues to reinforce its position as a vital link between India and international markets, emphasised a release.
