The Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW), formerly Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), is a production unit of Indian Railways situated in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

DLW stopped manufacturing diesel locomotives in 2019 and was renamed BLW in 2020.[1]

History

Founded in 1961 as the DLW, it manufactures locomotives which are variants based on the original ALCO. In July 2006, it outsourced manufacture of some locomotives to Parel Workshop, Central Railway, Mumbai.[2]

DLW stopped manufacturing diesel locomotives in March 2019 and was renamed BLW in October 2020.[1]

In March 2019, it developed the country's first bi-mode locomotive, the WDAP-5. BLW today produces mostly electric locomotives WAP-7 & WAG-9.[3]
