Exactly my thought!
Considering that the whole country is virtually under construction with dozens of Metros/Highways/tunnels being built simultaneously, it makes a lot of economic sense to get into TBM construction. Would be a big shot in the arm for infrastructure development.
I really want to see TBM's in action across Himalayan borders/Kashmir moving all strategic and vulnerable roads underground and making them accessible all year round.
I think both Bangalore and Hyderabad have hard rocky substrata since they both are part of Deccan plateau while Calcutta and Delhi are soft mud with Delhi being literally in the Yamuna river bed and Calcutta built over a vast sedimented Ganges delta.
In case of Bangalore, it was painfully clear when the TBM's had a really harrowing time tunneling underneath while they had a smoother sail in Delhi.

Thanks re: feedback.
Yes, I concede your point re: Bangloreu and Hyderabdfoo.
However, whynot start a desi TBM Co., buyout one ? Ok, my civil engg. friend told me how Russia's got not just nuclear submarines, but also nuclear powered aeroplanes. I think if so, then nuclear pack powered TBM's would be like magic re: Indian infrastructure, wot ?
