    In India we generally use,

    1500 V DC , 25kV AC 50Hz supply all over.

    There are cases where we are using multiple supplies in case of mumbai.

    For diesel power, there are many varieties are used, as far as I know and read they are classified as WDM1 to WDM 7 ot 6..

    The power is varied across different models, I guess google gives best answers.

    The rating will be like 2600Hp to 3100 Hp.

    The general supply voltage will be as per the rating of the motor as far as I think it will be at 400V to 720V.
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

    Check for the wikipedia articles for,
    1. Locomotives of India.
    2. Railway electric traction
    3. Traction motor
    4. Diesel Locomotive.

    All these articles give very good information on all the types of traction in India.

    If you have any more question post it here!!

    The link below has very good practical explanation of all the parts in traction.
