Why enroll

Participants join this seminar to understand the technical and operational hurdles of "Himalayan Geology," which is vastly more complex than urban metro tunneling due to unpredictable surprises and harsh weather. The conference provides a platform to hear from Union Minister Nitin Gadkari (featured toward the end) about policy shifts toward more transparent, result-oriented, and "corruption-free" systems in infrastructure. Attendees also learn about the "Open Heart Surgery" analogy—why choosing the cheapest (L1) contractor for complex tunnels is a dangerous practice and how the government is moving toward quality-based qualifications

Seminar details

The conference brings together policy makers, engineering experts, and contractors to analyze market developments and upcoming tunneling projects in India. A major highlight is the discussion on the Zojila Tunnel—a 13.2 km project that will provide all-weather connectivity to Ladakh—and the Atal Tunnel (Rohtang). The session addresses geographical challenges, the adoption of modern contractual frameworks like risk-sharing, and the government's push for "Make in India" for tunneling equipment to reduce dependency on imports.
