RITES inks deal for 10 diesel locomotives with CFM Mozambique

Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) have sealed a significant agreement with CFM Mozambique for the procurement of 10 diesel locomotives. This strategic collaboration is poised to enhance rail operations in Mozambique, fostering improved transportation capabilities and contributing to the nation's economic development.

The pact involves the supply of 10 state-of-the-art diesel locomotives by RITES, a move that aligns with Mozambique's efforts to modernize its rail infrastructure. The diesel locomotives are expected to play a pivotal role in bolstering freight and passenger transportation, addressing the growing demands of the region's rail network.

RITES, a leading engineering consultancy firm in the transportation sector, brings its expertise to the table to facilitate the efficient supply and integration of these locomotives. The collaboration underscores the commitment of both RITES and CFM Mozambique to elevating the standards of rail transportation in the region.

The procurement of these diesel locomotives is anticipated to significantly enhance the capacity and efficiency of Mozambique's rail operations. The infusion of modern technology into the rail network is expected to streamline transportation, promoting trade and connectivity within the country and with neighbouring regions.

This agreement not only reinforces RITES' global presence but also strengthens the bond between India and Mozambique in the realm of transportation infrastructure. The successful implementation of this initiative is poised to have a lasting impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of rail transportation in Mozambique, fostering economic growth and regional development.

No glass boxes!

India is moving away from the ‘glass box’ syndrome, all-glass façades that were widely used in commercial buildings in the last two decades but came at a significant environmental cost given the country’s predominantly hot and humid climate. Poor thermal performance, excessive heat gain and dependency on mechanical cooling systems made buildings with glass façades energy guzzlers and significantly increased their carbon footprint.That said, it’s important to be aware that “glass is not the enemy,” points out Heena Bhargava, Architect, Architecture Discipline. “How it ..

Why do pavements fail?

India’s highways continue to expand at a healthy pace. But conversations on the surface quality of highways are growing louder because major deficiencies and black spots continue to be identified, and they are cause for concern.“Road surface roughness causes vehicle vibrations that, in turn, can affect the performance of drivers,” explains Dr V K Gahlot, Road Safety Auditor, Centre for Research and Sustainable Development (CfRSD). “Continuous exposure may induce fatigue, a contributory factor to road accidents. Road surface roughness also affects the vehicle operating cost...
