Industry plea: Make tunnelling equipment in India
India is seeing a surge in infrastructure development, including tunnel and trench constructions. That said, tunnelling in India is still a relatively new development; hence, the potential for advanced tunnelling equipment is limited, necessitating importing such equipment from various parts of the world, observes Rishabh Gupta, Assistant Manager (Tunnel Planning & Design) at RITES Ltd, Ministry of Railways.
Make in India
Indias demand for tunnel boring machines (TBMs), trench cutters, automated jumbos and ancillaries like grout plants, rolling stock, segment moulds, etc, is met completely through imports,聺 agrees Raman Kapil, EVP - Metro, Tunnels & Environment, Tata Projects.
