RITES Secures $20.6M Locomotive Deal in Mozambique
RITES, a company that helps with engineering and transport, just got a big job in Mozambique.
They will build and send special train engines called diesel-electric locomotives.
They will also take care of these engines for a while.
The job is worth $20.6 million and will take about three years to finish.
This is good for RITES because it shows they can do important work in other countries, especially in Africa.

RITES Ltd won a $20.6 million contract from ICVL Mozambique for diesel-electric locomotives and maintenance services.
