HISTORY
In 1947, after independence, the truncated North Western Railway, renamed as East Punjab Railway, had no workshop to undertake repairs of Broad-Gauge Rolling Stock. For some time, the repairs to BG stock were carried out at Kalka. Later, it was decided to set up the first major post-independence Carriage & Wagon Workshop of Indian Railways at Jagadhri as part of Northern Railway and foundation stone of the workshop was laid on 08.02.1952. The workshop was set up for undertaking the POH of 75 Units of coaching stock and 225 units of Goods stock per month.
The workshop capacity has since been expanded & developed and over a period, the capacity of the workshop has been increased to the current level of 520 Wagons POH and 125 AC & Non-AC Coaches POH per month. Another proud moment for the workshop was, when it became the first workshop to be nominated for the POH of state-of-the-art LHB coaches imported from M/s ALSTOM. Jagadhri is the first Northern Railway Workshop to be certified with IMS certification consisting of ISO 9001, ISO14001, and OHSAS 18001. JUDW has also obtained ISO: 50001 certification, 5-S certification & ISO: 3834 certification for Welding.
Jagadhri Workshop was awarded Green-Co GOLD rating by CII in Chennai in March 2018 and all efforts are being made to upgrade it to Platinum.
Jagadhri Workshop is headed by Chief Workshop Manager, and is assisted by Dy. CME/Coaching, Dy.CME/P & Sr. EDPM, Dy.CME/W, Dy.CEE, Dy.CME/SNP, Dy.CPO, AFA and DEN. Store Depot is attached to the Workshop, and is headed by Dy. CMM under CWM.
