Yes we need these. But most important one is a boring machine to drill the ass of politicians and govt employees right from top to bottom. Make it so big that they can't digest corrupt money.
They already have an assembly unit in Chennai, TN. So most likely expansion of this unit only in Chennai. But of course since it's TN this handle will not mention that 🙃
Yeah just when BEML declared they will make TBMS in india and suddenly they remember that they already had an assembly plant for years …Aukaat dikhani padhti hai nahi toh kuch log iska fayda uthatey rahtein hain…
It will never work, like air engines, India spends trillions on, never able to produce cutting edge. Indian society is corrupt, will never be able to achieve sophistication to built tunnel boring machines. Waste of resources
Let them first set up, then u celebrate. In the meanwhile GoI should invest in enhancing the lab facilities for metallurgy and material science students starting from Bachelors level. GoI should also facilitate and catalyze industry-Academia interactions for HR development.
Would you please check again?! As a India trade Lane manager for my company i visited Herrenknecht, Chennai, way back in 2010, when it was starting new!
Result of a conversation between Goyal and his German counterpart on a train in India. The Germans were staggered to learn that the Chinese had sanctioned Herrenknecht TBM exports to India.
That means our travel times are going to be a lot lesser, esp. when navigating through hilly terrains of Eastern/ Western Ghats, the Vindhyas, the Himalayas, Satpura...
🇩🇪 Herrenknecht’s Move to Set Up Manufacturing in India
👉 Background: German tunnel boring machine (TBM) manufacturer Herrenknecht faced export delays from China, with at least three TBMs held up at Chinese ports. This disruption impacted critical infrastructure projects in India, including metro and bullet train developments. 
👉 Strategic Shift: In response to these challenges, Herrenknecht has decided to establish production facilities in India. This move aims to mitigate future supply chain risks and align with India’s growing infrastructure needs. 
👉 Location: The company plans to set up its manufacturing units in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. 
👉 Investment Details: Herrenknecht’s expansion in India is part of a broader investment initiative, with the Tamil Nadu government securing investment commitments worth ₹7,020 crore from various companies, including Herrenknecht. 
👉 Production Capabilities: The Chennai facility will produce TBMs with diameters up to 15.62 meters, making them among the largest in India. 
👉 Economic Implications: This move is expected to create significant employment opportunities and bolster local manufacturing capabilities in the tunneling sector.
👉 Broader Impact: Herrenknecht’s decision underscores the importance of diversifying supply chains and aligning with local manufacturing initiatives to ensure the timely execution of infrastructure projects.
