Meanwhile, in order to ease the boarding long distant trains by the surrounding public, the railways decided to provide halt for long distant running trains here. In that regard an infrastructure upliftment was carried out by [[South Central Railway|SCR]]. As of August 2021, the existing two platforms were extended to handle the 24 coaches trains at a cost of close to 2 crore [[rupee]]s. Parking areas on both sides were improved and two lifts were installed at a cost of 70 lakh rupees.

'''Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW)''' is an [[electric locomotive]] manufacturer based in [[India]]. The works are located at [[Chittaranjan]] in the [[Asansol Sadar subdivision]] of [[West Bengal]], with an ancillary unit in [[Dankuni]]. The main unit is 32 km from Asansol’s City Bus Terminus and 237 km from [[Kolkata]]. CLW has stores and offices in Kolkata, as well as inspection cells in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bangalore. It is the largest locomotive manufacturer unit in the world.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thestatesman.com/bengal/chittaranjan-locomotive-works-now-worlds-biggest-locomotive-producer-1502742443.html|title=Chittaranjan Locomotive Works is now world's biggest locomotive producer|date=2019-04-02|website=The Statesman|language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-12}}</ref> In FY 2024–25, it produced 700 locomotives surpassing the [[United States]] and [[Europe]].<ref>{{cite news |title=New Milestone in Locomotive Production: India Surpasses the US and Europe by Producing 1,681 Locomotives for the Financial Year 2024-25 |url=https://pib.gov.in/PressReleseDetailm.aspx?PRID=2117830&reg=3&lang=1 |access-date=8 April 2025 |date=2 April 2025 |location=New Delhi}}</ref>

==History==
Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) has been named after the great freedom fighter, leader and statesmen Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das. A new survey led to the present site at Chittaranjan being established, which was approved by the [[Ministry of Railways (India)|railway board]] in 1947.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.clw.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?lang=0&id=0,294,301|title=About Chittaranjan Locomotive Works|website=Chittaranjan Locomotive Works}}</ref> A survey of the proposed area began on 9 January 1948; the rocky soil was an advantage in erecting structural foundations, and the undulating terrain solved the problem of drainage for the township. The [[Damodar Valley Corporation]] envisioned hydro-electric and thermal power stations in the area, assuring adequate power availability for the project.<ref name=ecr />

The project was launched as Loco Building Works in 1950 to produce 120 average-sized [[steam locomotive]]s. It also had the capacity to manufacture 50 spare boilers. Production of steam locomotives commenced on 26 January 1950. The first President of India, [[Rajendra Prasad]], dedicated the first steam locomotive to the nation on 1 November 1950, and on the same day, the Loco Building Works was renamed as Chittaranjan Locomotive Works after [[Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das]]. The nearby [[Chittaranjan railway station|Mihijam Station]] was also renamed as Chittaranjan.

===Steel Foundry at Chittaranjan===
The technical collaborators in the U.K. for setting up of a Steel Foundry at Chittaranjan to produce steel castings for railway track. The final Draft agreement has been drawn up and sent to Messrs. F. H. Lloyd & Co.. U.K., for acceptance. The production is expected to commence after the completion of
construction and installation work which is estimated to take a period of about three years from the date of the signing of the Agreement. The estimated cost of this foundry is Rs. 2.8 crores, approximately.

The terms of the agreement are that we shall pay a sum of £1 lakh to the company with which we are collaborating, they will be responsible for supplying all the designs, supervision, advice in procurement of machinery etc.; if it is purchased in England, they will be responsible for the inspection of the machinery; also generally, they are to help us in putting up the foundry and also to train up the necessary personnel. In the first instance, the installed capacity is going to be 6,000 tons for steel castings for locomotives, and about 1,000 tons for track, from for points and crossings, from austenitic steel castings, which are made of a very hard type of steel. It will be mainly producing heavy and medium size castings im our steam locomotives.<ref>https://eparlib.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/1916/1/lsd_02_08_10-09-1959.pdf page 9</ref>

In 1962–63, a steel foundry was set up to manufacture cast steel locomotive parts. Production of [[Diesel locomotive|diesel-hydraulic locomotives]] began in 1968. After manufacturing 2351 steam locomotives of 5 types and 842 diesel-hydraulic locomotives of 7 types, production of both of these classes was discontinued from 1950 to 1972 and 1968 to 1993, respectively.<ref name=ecr>{{cite web |url=https://eparlib.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/58198/1/ec_01_32_1955.pdf |title=Estimates Committee Report|date=1955 |website=eparlib.nic.in |format=PDF|access-date=2020-12-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://eparlib.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/55867/1/lsd_01_09_30-03-1955.pdf |title=Estimates Committee Report|date=1955 |website=eparlib.nic.in |format=PDF|access-date=2020-12-17}}</ref> {{Why|date=January 2021}} Electric locomotive production commenced in 1961. The first Prime Minister of India, [[Jawaharlal Nehru|Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru]], commissioned the first 1500 V DC Locomotive named ''Lokmanya'' on 14 October 1961. The production of 25 kV AC DC locomotives commenced on 16 November 1963, with the WAG-1 series, a [[Broad-gauge railway|broad-gauge]] 25 kV A.C. freight locomotive with 2840 hp and a maximum speed of 80 km/h. The first WAG-1 locomotive was named ''Bidhan''.

CLW gradually began upgrading their locomotives to produce 6000 hp and achieve 160 km/h, and also started building the 25 kV AC/1500 V DC, AC/DC WCAM-1 series for hauling mail/express trains on the [[Western Railway zone|Western Railway]]. Additionally, production of DC traction motors and control equipment commenced in April 1967. CLW became the first manufacturer in India (as well as the second in Asia and fifth in the world) to manufacture a 3-phase GTO Thyristor-controlled electric locomotive{{Clarify|reason=What was this locomotive called, and when did CLW begin producing it?|date=January 2021}}. The first WAG-9 series locomotive{{Em dash}}the first indigenous 6000 hp freight electric locomotive{{Em dash}}was rolled out on 14 November 1988, and christened ''Navyug''.10 May 2000 ''Navodit'', the first passenger version of the WAP-5 series with a service speed of 160 km/h and the potential to reach 200 km/h, was manufactured; the project's highest-priority items are the development of material sourcing, indigenization, and cost reduction.

CLW has in-house facilities for machining and assembly of wheelsets, fabrication, bogies, etc.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}} The facilities include modern CNC machines, plasma cutting machines, and inert gas welding sets. The factory obtains its iron and steel from [[Steel Authority of India]], RINL{{clarify|What do thewe letters mean?|date=March 2023}} and MDN,{{clarify|What do thewe letters mean?|date=March 2023}} and sometimes from private steel plants like [[Tata Group|TATA]], Jamshespur, and [[Jindal Steel and Power|Jindal Steel]]. Hydroelectric power comes from [[Power Grid Corporation of India]] and the Damodar Valley Corporation's [[Maithon Dam|Maithon dam]].

CLW's environment conservation efforts have been recognized by the World Environment Foundation, and was awarded the Golden Peacock Award for Environment Management 2006.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}} CLW has fully complied with the provisions of the Industrial Safety Act, 1948 and was awarded the Safety Innovation Award in 2006 and 2009 by India's Institute of Engineers.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}

In 1853, the Survey for extension of Mumbai-Thane line beyond Igatpuri towards Khandesh was completed. By 1860, the Bhusawal Station building with a single platform was constructed. The following year, the Igatpuri – Bhusawal section was opened on October 1. By 1866, the Bhusawal – Khandwa Section was opened and in 1867, the Bhusawal – Badnera section became active as single line.

In 1920, the Bhusawal division was formed under the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIPR) and within the next two years, the doubling of the Bhusawal - Badnera section was completed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://irse.bravehost.com/IRHTML.htm |title=Indian Railway History Time line |editor=R.P.Saxena |access-date=7 April 2010 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120714085533/http://irse.bravehost.com/IRHTML.htm |archive-date=14 July 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
