<P> The WAG - 9 is a type of electric locomotive used in the Indian Railway and the most powerful freight locomotive of the fleet . It is similar to the WAP - 7 , but feautres a different gear ratio which makes it suitable for heavy freight operations . In November 1998 , the Chittaranjan Locomotive Works ( CLW ) started producing these with indigenous components . The first of which , named ' Navyug ' ( translated , ' New Era ' ) , was produced on November 14 , 1998 . Like the WAP - 5 units , the WAG - 9 has GTO thyristor converters and three - phase asynchronous motors . </P>
