New York headquartered ITT Corporation has announced that its Energy Absorption business has received a US$10,00,000 order for KONI(TM) branded dampers and shock absorbers from Indian Railways.

The order calls for more than 3,000 dampers or shock absorbers for Diesel Locomotive Works Varanasi (DLW), Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) and Rail Coach Factory (RCF) Northern Railway (NR) and Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML).
