Saran (Bihar), June 19, 2025 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to flag off the first locomotive from the Marhowrah factory in Bihar's Saran district — the first Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project in the railway sector under the "Make in India" initiative. The locomotive will be exported to the Republic of Guinea, marking a major milestone in India's railway manufacturing and global trade.
00:08The main road is to the place where the city is located.
00:14The city is located in the city of the city of the city of the city.
00:22My name is Sandeep Silit. I am the Managing Director of Vaptic Locomotives Private Limited, which is a joint venture in the Vaptic Corporation and the Ministry of Railways.
00:42The Simandu project is one of the largest iron ore projects in the world.
01:02As I mentioned, the Simandu's purity is about 65% of iron ore, which is a very good quality of iron.
01:11There are two critical mining divisions here, which will be mining.
01:16After that, there will be a ship of iron ore in the port, which will be made from the rail.
01:23After that, there will be an export within the countries.
01:26The locomotives will be a critical application of these locomotives.
01:31These locomotives are a very powerful rolling stock, which will beat the train 24-7.
01:37We believe that this will be a very successful project.
01:42Sir, these locomotives are designed in the Manoraki factory.
01:47What are their technologies?
01:49How do they support these locomotives?
01:51These locomotives are 4,500 horsepower.
01:55In each train, there will be 2 locomotives in each train,
01:58and the train will be able to get a train of 8,100 tons.
02:02These locomotives are very important.
02:04These locomotives are very important.
02:06There are distributed power and digital options.
02:10One of the different parts of the world is that its coupler height is 876 mm,
02:16where the Indian locomotives' height is 1090.
02:20There is a very big thing in the world,
02:23which is the first time we are exporting standard locomotives.
02:27You will know that there are broad-gauge locomotives in Indian railways.
02:31So, this project has been awarded in 2015.
02:32This is the project of the Waptek Corporation.
02:34This has been awarded in 75% of the Waptek Corporation,
02:36which is the railway side of the project.
02:38This project has been awarded in 9 feet.
02:41It was awarded in 2015, there was 75% of the Vaptic Corporation and 25% of the railway.
02:51We had to raise the land for 9 feet and the start of the project was in 2018.
02:58In 7 years, we had 726 locomotives and we are still doing it.
03:06This locomotive is about 150 locomotives, which will be executed in the next 3 years.
03:16This manufacturing is made in India.
03:22What is the maintenance of this locomotive?
03:25In India, there are 4 sheds that are allocated in Roza, Gandhadam, Gooty and Silly Goody.
03:31In every shed, there will be 200 locomotives maintained.
03:34The locomotive will be destroyed and there will also be a maintenance shed.
03:39In this project, there are 1500 people who have been employed in this project.
03:53In this project, there are more than 1500 people who have been employed.
03:57In this project, we have completed the construction and supplemented development of the Loco-Motive and the construction material.
04:17For the first locomotive, we are the first locomotive.
04:20If we vector the old locomotive, please tell us about this.
04:22This project is a dream project which was made in the Indian Railway system.
04:34Now, since there is a lot of effort, we have made a lot of effort from people to export it.
04:40There was a big order for us.
04:43There was a standard gauge of locomotives.
04:46The standard gauge of locomotive was modified by the standard gauge locomotive.
04:51The standard gauge of locomotive will be sent to Gini-Gandrajay.
04:56There will be an iron ore.
04:59There will be 4,500 horsepower.
05:06There will be two locomotives.
05:09With 9,000 horsepower, we will be able to pull the load.
05:17The standard gauge of locomotives will be made in the United States.
05:22The standard gauge of locomotives will be made in the international market.
05:27The standard gauge of locomotives will be made in the international market.
05:32The standard gauge of locomotives will be made in the international market.
05:37locomotive is the demand in the international market in Africa, Australia,
05:41Western Europe, these places are the demand in this area, South Africa and New Zealand
05:49parts are the demand in Cape Gaze. The purpose is that globally where there is a demand,
05:55the locomotive will be in our country and in our country.
06:00Sir, there are a lot of locomotives that are designed in the PPP model.
06:08How are these locomotives are different from this factory?
06:11There are a lot of locomotives.
06:13There are many locomotives in China.
06:15There are locomotives that have become locomotives.
06:17In Madhepura, the locomotive has become a big plant,
06:20where there are 12,000 horsepower locomotives.
06:24There is also a new locomotive plant,
06:27where there are 9,000 horsepower locomotives.
06:31There is a plant that is not just the Bharatian Railway,
06:35which is working on the global market.
06:40It is also working on the other countries.
06:43Sir, employment generation,
06:45how many people do this work?
06:47Directly and indirectly,
06:49there are 2-3,000 people who have been working on it.
06:51Many people are working on it.
06:54Some people are working on it.
06:56And, as well, indirectly,
06:57there are thousands of people who have been working on it.
07:01Not only in the whole of this country,
07:03but also in the whole of this country,
07:04there are many people who have been working on it.
07:06There are thousands of people who have been working on it.
