Precision Components for the World's
Most Demanding Railway Network
Electrical, mechanical, and electronic components for ALCO, EMD, and GE locomotive platforms, designed for Indian and global operating conditions.
Elixir Engineering has supplied Indian Railways and global railway operators for over 21 years. Our product range covers the complete spectrum of locomotive maintenance requirements across diesel-electric and electric platforms.
Why Railway Maintenance Requires
a Specialist Supplier
Indian Railways operates one of the largest and most diverse railway networks on earth. The maintenance demands are unlike those faced by any other operator.
Scale and Fleet Diversity
Indian Railways operates over 17,000 locomotives across platforms spanning six decades. Elixir Engineering covers all three major diesel-electric platforms and selected electric and passenger rolling stock applications.
Operating Environment
From -20°C in Ladakh to above 50°C in Rajasthan, our components are designed for actual Indian operating conditions, not just laboratory test benches.
Regulatory & Approval
Meeting IS 8923, IRIS certification, EN 50155, and RITES inspection requirements is a specialist function we handle from design to despatch.
Deep Knowledge Across
Every Major Platform
We do not supply generic components. Every product is engineered for the specific operating conditions, wiring interfaces, and approval requirements of the platform it serves.
ALCO
WDM-2 · WDM-3A · WDM-3D · WDG-3A · WDG-4 · WDP-4 · WDP-4D
The backbone of Indian diesel-electric traction. Decades of operation mean many original components are worn or discontinued. We hold the broadest aftermarket coverage available from any Indian manufacturer, including components for the 251B, 251C, and 251D engine series.
Bridge rectifiers and excitation diodes, contactors and relay boards, governor systems, fuel pump assemblies, water pump repair kits, coupling assemblies, bogie components, detector assemblies, surge arresters, transformer and transductor assemblies.
EMD
GT46MAC · GT46PAC · GT26CW · JT26CW · EMD SD40 · EMD SD70
Modern heavy freight traction with AC technology. Our range covers original GT46 variants and localised versions developed under technology transfer agreements, validated against original EMD specifications.
SCR assemblies and IGBT modules, control cards and EM2000 system modules, fuel pump motors and inverters, engine components for the 645 and 710 series, resistor panels, bogie structural components, traction motor parts.
GE
ES43ACi · ES57ACi · U18B · U20C · C30-7 · WDG-4G
Equipped with the GEVO-12 engine and IGBT-based traction control electronics centred on the GE 17FM and 17FE panel architecture. Elixir Engineering has developed a growing range of products validated against GE original specifications.
GE 17FM and 17FE series panels, TCC processor and control cards, IGBT modules and interface assemblies, bus bars and backplane assemblies, driver display units, cab instruments, bogie and underframe components.
Electric & Passenger
WAP-5 · WAP-7 · WAG-9 series · LHB coaches · Vande Bharat train sets
Extending beyond diesel-electric to cover driver display units for ABB and BHEL propulsion systems fitted to WAP and WAG electric locomotive classes, electronic boards for LHB passenger coaches, and primary voltage transformers for Vande Bharat train sets.
Driver Display Units for ABB and BHEL propulsion systems, LHB coach electronic boards (GE Board, MV Board, N1 Board, N2 Board, RE Board), Primary Voltage Transformers for CLW electric locomotives and Vande Bharat train sets, fire detection units.
