BEML to Drill Deep Into Domestic TBM Manufacturing

BEML is stepping into the manufacture of indigenous tunnel boring machines (TBMs) to cut down reliance on imports and boost India's infrastructure sector.

Under the leadership of CMD Shantanu Roy, the company will initially build smaller TBMs with diameters between 3.5m and 6.5m for metro rail, hydropower, irrigation, and utility projects, later scaling up to larger machines. Partnering with a global consultant for technology and strategy, BEML plans to channel its proven engineering expertise in defense, mining, and railway equipment into this new segment.
