India Starts Building Its Own Tunnel Boring Machines

Original: JUST IN: India Builds Its Own Tunnel Boring Machines Amid China Export Curbs India is now manufacturing 8-metre and 15-m

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that India is now manufacturing its own tunnel boring machines, producing 8-metre and 15-metre models, with machines exceeding 16 metres planned soon. The development comes amid Chinese export restrictions on the equipment, and is being framed as a step toward self-reliance in critical infrastructure technology for India's metro and railway tunnelling projects.

Why now: China's export curbs on tunnel boring machines have pushed India to showcase domestic manufacturing capacity as a strategic breakthrough.
