India Advances Tunnel and Border Infrastructure to Boost Connectivity and Strategic Mobility

India is rapidly expanding its tunnel infrastructure across challenging terrains to enhance connectivity, strategic mobility, and regional development. Key projects include the 9.02 km Atal Tunnel in the Himalayas, which enables year-round travel and strengthens defense logistics. Along the China border, India is accelerating infrastructure development, including highways, tunnels, and railways, to improve troop deployment and counter dual-use Chinese facilities. These efforts support economic growth, national security, and improved access to remote areas.
