Like all locomotive sheds, AJNI does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at AJNI but to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair. Locomotives of Ajni ELS along with Itarsi ELS were the regular links for all trains running through maharashtra when widespread electrification of railway lines started in East coast Railways. AJNI locomotives are also used for Rajdhani trains as well.
