The lead needs expansion. At least 2 paras. In the 2nd para add about its specification, fleet etc.
There are few issues with grammar and punctuation. Example- "GE has said that, during operations, real timereal-time tracking will be undertaken for the locomotives with an aim toto increase productivity and minimize time duration." and "After winning the contract, General Electric started designing the locomotives which waswere done by the Indian branch of GE Global Research in Bangalore."
"started designing... which were done"?? Really?! BTW, I am wondering - by any chance, was this change suggested by an automated grammar tool (just to be sure NOT to rely on this tool for grammar)? Also, I am not sure at all that "with an aim to" goes against "spelling and grammar are correct" (it looks more as a style issuechoice).

Ipsign, this is my first review and I am learning. so, pardon me if I have made any mistake. I check manually and also use tools to check spelling mistakes and all. ❯❯❯ S A H A13:45, 9 July 2020 (UTC)reply
Citations in the infobox and its info doesn't appear in the main prose. Add them under specifications.
Sentences like "They will be used extensively for freight hauling and will replace the existing fleet of the ageing ALCo locomotives which have been the workhorse of IR for decades." in the lead seems pretty informal.
The section "Locomotive shed" is not upto the mark of GA. It can be changed to "Fleet" and a prose can be added instead of the table.
