India is undertaking a significant infrastructure development drive along its border with China in the Himalayas, including roads, tunnels, bridges, and airstrips. This effort, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, aims to enhance troop mobility, supply lines, and rapid response capabilities, learning from the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is central to this initiative, with an increased budget and extensive construction projects in challenging conditions to prevent being caught off guard by potential escalations.
