Electrically operated rail trolleys (patented by T A White, an EIR engineer, and hence known as White’s Patented Rail Motor Trolleys) were used in a few places beginning in 1910. EIR’s Liluah Carriage and Wagon works used one between Liluah and Howrah; the Oudh and Rohilkand Rly. also used one for track inspections. In the following years Jessop and Co. supplied a few more of these to various railways.

In 1922 an electric loco (unknown gauge) using overhead electrification was supplied to the Naysmyth Patent Press Co. in Calcutta by British Electric Vehicles.
