Customs Hurdles Delay Arrival of Tunnel Boring Machines for Indian Infrastructure Projects, Says German Firm

Date:

Significant delays in India’s infrastructure projects have been attributed to customs bottlenecks, as reported by a leading German manufacturing firm responsible for supplying Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). These machines, essential for building underground transport systems and other large-scale projects, are currently held up in customs, impacting project timelines across the country.

The German company highlighted that India’s customs procedures have become a major hurdle, causing months-long delays in the clearance and transport of TBMs. This slowdown affects crucial projects, including metro expansions and water supply tunnels in major cities. According to industry experts, the situation not only escalates project costs but also threatens deadlines, as construction firms face penalties for delays.

Indian authorities have acknowledged the issue and are reportedly working to streamline the customs process for critical imports like TBMs. Meanwhile, infrastructure firms are urging for faster clearance to prevent further setbacks. This delay highlights the urgent need for customs reforms to support India’s ambitious infrastructure goals and ensure smoother operations for foreign suppliers contributing to these projects.
