Answer: Chittranjan
Notes: The first steam locomotive produced by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) was dedicated to the nation on November 1, 1950. This significant event coincided with the renaming of the Loco Building Works as Chittaranjan Locomotive Works, in honor of the freedom fighter, leader, and statesman Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das. The dedication ceremony was conducted by the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad. This marked an important milestone in the history of CLW, establishing it as a key manufacturer in India's locomotive industry. The production of steam locomotives commenced earlier on January 26, 1950, and over the years, CLW evolved to become the largest locomotive manufacturer in the world.
