00:00Simandu project is one of the largest

00:29iron ore projects in the world.

00:32As I mentioned, Simandu's purity is about 65% of iron ore,

00:38which is a very good quality iron.

00:41There are two critical mining divisions here,

00:44where there will be mining,

00:47and after that, there will be a ship of iron ore in the port,

00:52which will be made from the rail,

00:54and then it will be made of its export in Wibin countries.

00:57And the locomotives are a critical application.

01:01The locomotives are a very powerful rolling stock,

01:05which will be able to reach the train of 24-7.

01:06And we believe that this will be a very good project.

01:12The locomotives are built here in Manoraki factory.

01:18What are the locomotives?

01:22The locomotives are 4,500 horsepower.

01:25There will be two locomotives in each train,

01:29and it will be able to reach the train of 8,100 tons.

01:31And the locomotives will be able to reach the train of 8,100 tons.

01:33And these locomotives are a lot of other locomotives.

01:35These locomotives are a lot of other locomotives,

01:37such as distributed power and digital options.

01:41One of the things that is different is that its coupler height is 876 mm,

01:47while the Indian locomotives are 1090.

01:51And one of the big things that we have in the first time in Japan,

01:54is that we are exporting standard-gauge locomotives.

01:58As you will know, the locomotives in Indian railways are used in broad-gauge locomotives.

02:02What is the project?

02:03What is the project of Manoraki factory?

02:04What is the project of Waptec factory?

02:06What is the project of Waptec factory?

02:08What is the project of Waptec factory?

02:10What is the project of Waptec factory and Waptec factory?

02:12And when started it?

02:14In 2015, it was awarded in 75% of Waptec Corporation and 25% of Waptec Corporation.

02:21And we had to reach the land of this project for 9 feet.

02:25And after this project, the start of the operation is in 2018.

02:29In 7 years, we have 726 locomotives supplied.

02:33And we will continue to do this.

02:36So, what locomotives are these?

02:38Which locomotives are these?

02:39Which locomotives are these?

02:40Which locomotives are these?

02:41This locomotives is about 150 locomotives, which will be executed in the next three years.

02:46What is the maintenance of Waptec factory?

02:53What is the maintenance of Waptec factory?

02:55In India, there are 4 sheds that are allocated in Roza, Gandharam, Gooty and Siliguri.

03:01So, in every shed, there will be 200 locomotives maintained.

03:04And if this locomotives will be destroyed, there will be a maintenance shed.

03:09So, what is the maintenance of Waptec factory?

03:18Overall, this project has been employed by 1500 people.

03:23And the 99% of the band power is from Bihar.

03:28The management of Waptec factory has been installed in the Indian Railway.

03:43Since this of all, it is still a lot of burdened that we outspoken away from the local outspoken.

03:48It has been a lot of orders.

03:53from the sandra gauge locomotives, and in the sandra gauge locomotives is made by the sandra gauge locomotives.

04:01And 150 locomotives in the third year, we have brought down the iron ore with an iron ore,

04:09and in the sandra gauge of it, we are going to put it into a trap.

04:12One locomotive will be closed, which is about 4500 horsepower,

04:15which will be able to collect two locomotives,

04:18So, 9,000 horsepower, single-tab, we will be able to pull the whole load of the engine to get rid of the engine.

04:27So, this plant is also very important for us.

04:32This plant has been very important for us to modify this plant.

04:34For example, we have only made a broad-gauge, standard-gauge and cape-gauge.

04:45The standard-gauge and cape-gauge demand is in the international market.

04:50In Africa, Australia, Western Europe.

04:53In these places, the standard-gauge demand is in South Africa and New Zealand.

05:00Cape-gauge demand is in the market.

05:02So, the purpose is that globally, where there is a demand,

05:06the locomotive will be in our country and in our country.

05:15So, this one is on its own service.

05:22There are plenty of people that that are trying to do in South Africa.

05:27It's powered by Wis속 Palace.

05:33Particularly a lot of stewards from ourرك Defence Republic for the spot.

05:36In Africa, we brought it everywhere.

05:37A 높独り of persons with noőn.

05:38I don't know if anyone has gone.

05:39So, you will have to do this guer than 서�RA Mana.

05:40I want to end the bubble as a whole.

05:47I want to make a solution that I have.

05:54It's also a bad idea of tching.

05:59It's a bit complicated.
