Company Profile
Diesel Loco modernization Works was conceived with a view to provide
maintenance supports to zonal railways for the maintenance of over 4500 diesels locomotive, which are in services.
DMW believes that product quality has to be built in during manufacturing.
In accordance with the belief, the quality assurance system forms integral part of workshop activities.
With quality as its strength factor, DMW is surely and steadily notching up

Fully integrated with CNC, NC and NON-CNC machines to overcome the
demand.
Machines are placed according to group technology so that final job comes out
as single.
Inspection and testing is done 100% with very accurate instruments for good
quality.
Project Objective
Diesel-Loco Modernisation Works was setup in the year 1981 to extend the service life of Diesel Locomotives of the Indian Railways and significantly raise the level of their availability.
Manufacture and supply of high quality components and sub-assemblies as
spares.
Manufacture of Components hitherto imported achieving import
DMW Is Divided In Two Parts Phase 1- Phase 1 was sanctioned in May 1982 and that of Phase 2 in June 1986.
For phase 1 group of shops covering an area of 47,000sq.m has been provided in which 734 items of different machinery & plant have been installed.
Phase 2- Construction of Phase 2 group of shops, where rebuilding of diesel
loco per annual is to be undertaken was taken up in 1986-87 at an estimated cost of 46.63 crores. For this purpose covered area of 25,000sq.m and 298 different items of machinery and seven plants have been provided. Facilities for rebuilding of power packs & diesel locomotives are provided in various shops

Manufacturing ShopsPhase 1 shops are also known as Manufacturing shops. There are total
seven shops which come under manufacturing . These shops manufacture small and heavy parts of loco. The various shops are described as follows: Light Machine Shop
About 300 spare parts required by DMW and Zonal Railways for locomotive maintenance including Camshafts, Gears, Valve gear
components, Equaliser beams, Axles, Armature shafts, Axle box housings, Gas inlet casings, etc. are manufactured in the Light Machine Shop.
This shop is also known as for Manufacture of Rail-cum-Road Vehicle. Here various tools and components of locomotives are produced with various machines. Most of the machines are controlled by CNCs.
Requisite heat treatment that is induction hardening, case carburizing etc. is carried out in the Heat Treatment Shop to develop optimum properties in the finished components.
The Carbon Brush Shop manufactures 14 types of carbon brushes required for Traction Generators, Traction Motors and Auxiliary Electrical Machines. Recently carbon brush CB-48 has been developed for fans of ICF coaches.
Engine Blocks of diesel locomotives and Traction Motor Magnet Frames are machined in this shop. Precision machining of the Blocks is carried out on CNC Horizontal Boring & Milling Machine of PAMA, Italy make CNC machine.
A wide variety of Traction Motors, Traction Generators and Alternators are rewound / remanufactured in this shop. Facilities include 500 T Hydraulic Press for shafting/deshafting, Glass Bead Blasting Machine, Vacuum Impregnation Plant, HYT Lathe, Dynamic Balancing Machine, etc.
All the Power Packs from incoming locomotives are sent to the Power Pack
Shop for remanufacturing. In this shop the power pack is wholly dismantled
and rebuilt, tested and then sent to LRS for fitment on the LOCO.
The main functions of this shop are Dismantling, Reconditioning and assembly of power pack.
Engine view
A manipulator has been developed for ensuring downhand welding during the repair of under frame and chasis.
c)
d)
Air Brake and Paint Shops constitute the supporting activity areas for locomotive rebuilding.
e)
Power and control cables are renewed and control equipment is remanufactured.
Loco Assembly
Bogie Shop
The locomotive bogies are rebuilt with new wheel sets, suspension bearings and remanufactured traction motors. Separate shop has been set up for machining of wheel sets and assembly of locomotive bogies.
Support shops
Above activities are adequately supported by competent workforce of staff and supervisors of Plant Maintenance Shop, Tool Room, Main Receiving Station and other support shops.
Electronics Lab
maintenance need of highly sophisticated CNC machines and component / subassembly level trouble shooting of PCBs, Servo Drives, Microprocessor based controllers and electronic units.
A saving of Rs.1.17 Cr. has been achieved in 2005-06 due to repair of
PCBs.
safety of locomotive.
Manufacture of various type of carbon brushes used on traction machines of
alternators of locomotives.
Reconditioning of engine block of ALCO locomotives, power pack and
CNC Machines Computer Numeric Control machines is a closed loop machine. As the name depicts these machines use computer for their operation. Computer Numeric Control machines are controlled by a set of different
This machine is CNC operated machine. Vertical Rotary mill is located in LMS shop. It is used mainly for boring and milling of the tools.
It needs a total power of 35 KW for its operation. It is worth Rs 17.09322 lacs. The main components used are- Main Bearing Cap, Connecting Rods,
Some of the sophisticated workstations and testing equipment in the Lab are:
X-Y, Y-T, 3-Channel Recorders. Dual Channel 100 MHz Oscilloscope with DMM. 5 Digit Bench Programmable Digital Multimeter. Function Generator with Arbitrary waveform generation. PCB Test Station Automatic Test Equipment (ICT). Universal PROM / EPROM Programmer. Digital / Analog IC Tester. Surface Mount Component Repair Station.
production of the parts and units of rails forms an important and integral
part of the proper functioning of the railway system in India.
Its World's largest manufacturer of ALCO diesel loco spares such as Gears,
