I don't know the specific reason, but I do remember reading about about the EWR-BOM flight with MX issues in BOM.

Maybe it is their way of saying: we are going to have inclement weather and we cannot leave with a full complement of passengers.
(The first time I went there, 8 years ago, this is exactly what happened, and this was the reason).
I doubt the issue is India-side. It is more likely something on the way.

A similar thing happened to me earlier this year on HND-SFO as when we boarded, the aircraft was uncomfortably hot (warmer than the NH aircraft that I flew on for MNL-HND, which had the engines switched off during boarding). When asked about why is it so hot, the FA said that they were trying to not use the APU so much, and that we should "try to be patient because the air conditioning system will start working once we are heading for out to the runway."
At least by the time we were in the air, it had cooled down to a more tolerable level, but what I found strange was that the 777 got so hot so quickly. At night, in HND, in March.

The cabin didn't cool down until we were at altitude. The pilots probably had it worst. I used the far forward lav on the UD after we'd been in the air for about 30 mins and it was noticeably warmer toward the cockpit.

Normally if UA 835 has problem, UA 836 would use UA 857's aircraft in Shanghai and delay about 3 hrs...
This time, both aircraft failed.....

10/01 UA906 B777 FRA-ORD Cancelled due to aircraft maintenance.
The only other n/s flight is at 5:20 and it looks to be sold out. Looks like folks will now have to connect through SFO to get to ORD basically turning a 8 hour flight into a 17 hour ordeal.
10/01 UA 4 B787 IAH-LHR Cancelled already due to Operational difficulties and this is 12 hours before the scheduled flight. Also,
10/02 UA 5 B787 LHR-IAH Cancelled due to operational difficulties
