For regular long-distance travel, India continued relying on <a href="/wiki/Locomotives_of_India" title="Locomotives of India">locomotives</a>. The inefficiency of these locomotive-hauled trains was soon felt while the developed world already had well-built EMU <a href="/wiki/High-speed_rail" title="High-speed rail">high-speed technology</a> by the 1990s. EMUs for longer distances were conceived on the long-distance main lines, which led to the development of <a href="/wiki/MEMU" title="MEMU">mainline electric multiple units</a> (MEMU). With the advantages of faster acceleration-deceleration, presence of driver cabins at both ends, being energy efficient with <a href="/wiki/Regenerative_braking" title="Regenerative braking">regenerative braking</a>, encouraged Indian Railways to develop MEMUs for distances beyond the suburban belt.<sup id="cite_ref-EMU_History_15-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EMU_History-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A decade later, India had several MEMUs operating across the country's electrified routes as a short-distance inter-city service.
