What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

India has begun manufacturing Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) domestically to support its infrastructure expansion efforts. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated that India is now producing TBMs with diameters of 8 metres and 15 metres, with plans to exceed 16 metres in size. This shift is occurring amid new export restrictions placed on TBMs by China.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The domestic production of specialized tunnelling equipment is critical for major projects, such as the 125-km Rishikesh–Karnaprayag railway line in Uttarakhand, which requires 83% of its alignment to pass underground. This effort is part of a broader push to build domestic capabilities across railway, highway, metro, and power infrastructure in India.
