In February this year, two lots of machine sets were delivered in India.

San Engineering & Locomotives ordered these sets in June last year for the production of two RTM-32 machines.

However, the assembly of these machines had to be postponed due to a worsening of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.

STM stated that the terms of the contract will be satisfied despite the postponement, with an aim to provide the equipment without any delay.

The company intends to provide two ready-made WSTs to the Indian Railways for pilot operation before the end of this year.
