			After East Coast Railway set a deadline to eliminate all steam locomotive operations by 1990, a push was given towards establishing electric locomotion as the primary motive power, and the steam locomotive sheds were decommissioned.<ref>{{Cite web\|title=Report of the Expert Committee on Coal Consumption on Railways, 1958\|url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/report-expert-committee-coal-consumption-railways-1958\|access-date=2020-04-29\|website=INDIAN CULTURE}}</ref> To meet the needs of exponentially increasing rail traffic on the new continuous broad-gauge lines from Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh to rest of India, the Visakhapatnam was selected by Indian Railways for a new electric locomotive shed.<ref>{{cite web\|title=Electric loco shed location\|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/erode-junction-ed/39\|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref>
			Electric Loco Shed Visakhapatnam was commissioned in December 1982 with a holding of 30 Electric locomotives as a captive Loco shed for Kottavalasa-Kirandul line.There was steady increase in the loco holding due to increase in traffic demand over the years thereafter for transporting the iron ore from Baliadilla mines to Visakhapatnam port.
			During 1988, a fleet of 18 locomotives [[Indian locomotive class WAG-6A\|WAG-6]] of 6000 HP having a number of special improved features with state-of-the-art technology were imported from Sweden (6locomotives/ABB make) and from Japan (12 locomotives/Hitachi make) to add to the fleet of indigenous locomotives.
