India's Infrastructure Growth Threatened by TBM Import Dependence

Imagine India building lots of tunnels for trains, water, and roads.

They need special machines called TBMs, but they mostly buy them from other countries.

This is a problem because if these countries stop selling these machines, it could stop India's construction projects.

The article explains that India needs to start making these machines itself.

This involves making stronger steel, advanced components, and creating an industry that supports TBM production.

The author suggests steps like offering incentives, encouraging local companies, setting up research centers, and making sure everything is made to the same quality standards.

This would help India become more self-sufficient and able to build infrastructure without relying on other countries.
