Mumbai TBM Crosses Seven Railway Tracks Without Disrupting Train Services
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority's Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) has successfully tunneled beneath seven active Central and Harbour Railway tracks in Mumbai without disrupting train services. The operation, part of the Orange Gate-Marine Drive underground road tunnel project, involved continuous 24x7 monitoring and coordination with railway authorities to ensure safety. Launched in December 2025 by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the TBM is India's largest slurry shield machine for urban tunneling, navigating complex urban and coastal conditions.
