There would be engineering support from a local firm to cover the basics. For bigger jobs which require larger parts, I’d imagine a select number of engineers would get Indian visas issued before the start of each Winter season, much like the pilots and the cabin crew.
From what I gather, on this occasion it was an administrative issue with the aircraft chartered to carry the part out there.
