To be more accurate, L&T won the tender. They've a Chinese partner, which is their call as a private company.

Yes, L&T, is the main company who is constructing it, they gave subcontract to a chinese for underground tunneling.

First subway is Mumbai?? That's news to me, China has dozens of cities operating subway systems, I thought Mumbai is a big city in India. Can't imagine this city's gonna have the subway later than China's far western border town Urumqi...

tunnels are way expensive than over bridges. Looks like Mumbai has no space to build elevated metro.

Even Pakistan had an underground metro before India! (Orange Line Lahore)

Mumbai doesn't have the required space for construction of elevated metro hence underground and I'm pretty sure Delhi metro has been using underground metro for a longer time then Lahore metro.
