The next wave of infrastructure creation in Mumbai is largely about tunnels and is being driven by TBMs. In #TheFirstMetro I write about the economy of TBMs, how govt officials prepare to procure TBMs and put them into action, the advantages and the challenges.

In this despatch of ‘The First Metro,’ I write about the bureaucrat who has become the talk of the town in Mumbai - Tukaram Mundhe, his outlook, his scuffles with the political class, and what makes him tick despite the many, constant transfers.

Over the last fortnight, there was a new flashpoint - white stripes that brought the city’s identity politics to the fore. In #TheFirstMetro I talk about this identity politics and why the stripes appeared to be gaudier than they were.

Gone gone gone. In a city where change is the only constant.
Mumbai lost two landmarks in a span of ten days - the Air India building and Air India colony. In #TheFirstMetro, I write how the city is in constant metamorphosis and how places that are primary identifiers of neighbourhoods so often cease to exist.
