Epiroc is supplying tunnelling equipment for the Shimla Bypass project in India, a strategic infrastructure scheme in demanding Himalayan terrain. The Swedish group's involvement underscores its push into India's expanding infrastructure market, where major investment in road and tunnel projects is creating opportunities for specialised machinery suppliers. The Shimla Bypass aims to ease traffic congestion in the mountainous region, requiring equipment capable of operating reliably at altitude and in challenging geological conditions. For contractors working on similar high-altitude or geologically complex tunnel projects, Epiroc's track record in such environments may prove a useful reference point when specifying machinery.
