          INDIA—South Central Railway

          By: Brian Giop, Manager International Services


          We are pleased to share with everyone that the final commissioning certificate for IR20-1 has been signed off by the
          South-Central Railway territory or India Railways. Having this first machine commissioning complete and signed, as of
          06 May 2022, allows for final machine approval of the first IR20 Machine by the railways safety committees which will

          allow the machine to enter full production. Although this is only one of seventeen machines to be delivered over the
          next 2 years it is the culmination of hard work on the part of Loram US, Loram India, Vandhana (India Partner), and
          San Engineering (supplier of camp coaches) to get to this point. This achievement is but a step on our path to full
          project completion, but a win is a win and should be celebrated as such. We are off and running on our journey to
          deliver and establishing the largest operations of sold Loram equipment anywhere in the world (so far).

          Congratulation and thank you to the Loram US and Loram India teams as well as Vandhana for the hard work in In-
          dia to get the machine:

              Demetris Royster, Tony Mohs)

          All aspects completed with efficient execution. We look forward to learning from our experiences on this first ma-
          chine to improve the process on the next five 20 stone machines, ten 96 stone machines, and one 72 stone ma-
          chines.
