In March 2006, RITES agreed to buy part of the failing Tanzania Railways Corporation, now called Tanzania Railways Limited, after winning an international tender. There has been constant criticism on both sides, and in July 2009 TRL Chief Executive Hundi Lal Chaudhary said that RITES was ready to walk away.
