About the workshop

Charbagh workshop, which is a part of Northern Railway, was established by Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway in the year 1867-68. In its long journey in service of the nation, it has excelled in adapting to latest technology and has kept pace with changing requirements of motive power and rolling stock of Indian Railways. The workshop which was established primarily for maintenance of steam locomotives started maintaining diesel locomotives from 1975, Electric locomotives from 1987, DEMU train sets from 1996 and recently in June 2018 turned out first rake of MEMU train sets. In 2021 workshop started maintenance of Vande Bharat Express train sets.

Our focus is firmly on increasing outturn in a cost-efficient and environment friendly manner with a continuous pursuit to ensure quality. Workshop has already adopted Integrated Management System, OHSAS & 5S in its working. In addition to above, we have taken steps to make production more sustainable and environment friendly. Due to this, we have reduced wastage and saved cost and have achieved the GreenCo Gold certification.
