The Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW) in Varanasi, India, is a major manufacturer of locomotives in India. Founded in 1961, the company rolled out its first locomotive three years later, on January 3, 1964. It supplies a large variety of locomotives to the Indian Railways, mostly diesel-electric locomotives.
