This move is expected to improve service delivery and reliability, benefitting passengers and freight services alike.

Moreover, this recruitment drive aligns with Indian Railways' long-term goals of expanding its capabilities and enhancing the efficiency of its operations. The addition of more assistant loco pilots is anticipated to address current workforce shortages and support the organization's objectives for modernization and growth.
