in many African countries. This involves modifying the bogies, wheels, and underframes of the locomotives. RITES has already secured two orders from South African mineral and steel plants, one for ₹35 crore and the other for ₹50 crore, each for three locomotives. This initiative, if successful, could open up a significant export market for India, as there are numerous spare diesel locomotives available. RITES aims to finalize the design modifications and have the prototypes approved within the next four to six months.

gauge (1,676 mm) se Cape Gauge (1,067 mm) me convert karna, jo Africa ke kai countries me use hota hai. Isme locomotives ke bogies, wheels aur underframes ko modify karna padta hai. RITES ko South Africa ke mineral and steel plants se do order mil chuke hain, ek ₹35 crore ka aur dusra ₹50 crore ka, har ek me teen locomotive hain. Agar yeh initiative successful hota hai, toh India ke liye ek bada export market khul jaayega, kyunki bahut saare spare diesel locomotives available hain. RITES ka target hai ki woh design modification ko final karein aur aagle four to six months me prototypes ko approval dilaein.
