Ukraine imported train Wheels for India..!?

The 128 wheels of the Vande Bharat high-speed train have been shipped from ukraine to India. In 2019, the Vande Bharat high-speed train was introduced to improve passenger rail transport. Currently, there are two Vande Bharat trains operating between delhi - varanasi and delhi - Katra.
Medha Servo Drives, based in hyderabad, is in the process of manufacturing Vande Bharat trains. The wheels for the train are being procured from the Eastern european country of Ukraine. Currently, there is a war going on and the wheels cannot be sent quickly. Meanwhile, 128 train wheels have been shipped from ukraine to its neighbor romania by road. It has been tedious work for importing these wheels from Ukraine.
 From there, they were flown to india on special flights, two of which arrived at the chennai airport. When the last flight arrives today, all 128 wheels will be taken to a manufacturing facility in hyderabad and fitted on train carriages. It is learned that the test run of these trains is scheduled to take place in August.
Vande Bharat trains will thus run from these wheels from ukraine where war has been going on for the past few weeks.
