Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir, slated to be the world's tallest temple, is under construction at Vrindavan, Mathura. Involving an investment of ₹300 crore, it will be one of the most expensively built temples in the world by ISKCON Bangalore. It has a footprint of about 5 acres and a built-up area of 5,40,000 sq.ft. The temple will bring vibrancy to the area with a host of festivals and religious activities throughout the year.

With a height of 213 meters (700 ft) and of 70 storeys, the temple will have a capsule elevator to take visitors to the Viewing Gallery atop the temple, giving an immersive 3D sound and light experience of the planetary system described in the Vedic literature.A look-alike of the verdant forests of Vrindavan will be recreated around this magnificent temple from descriptions in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, with the twelve forests of Braj. A Krishna Lila Theme Park will include themed storytelling areas, musical fountains, gardens, lawns, and water bodies. Other attractions will be a Yamuna creek with boating, Braj heritage village, a ‘goshala’ to recreate the atmosphere of the Vrindavan of Lord Krishna, a Krishna Heritage museum and Bhagavad-Gita Expo, lecture halls, and a Centre for Krishna heritage studies.
KYB-Conmat’s stationary concrete batching plant - saves construction time, labour and total capital cost
He adds, “The VCM team wanted to partner with a reputed concrete company, which would be experienced and committed to the project. We are proud to be associated with VCM, and can offer a range of machines for the project such as our concrete batching plant and transit mixer. Our equipment will save construction time, labour and the overall capital cost.”
He informs that VCM’s team along with the project manager visited, KYB-Conmat’s head office at Vadodara, as they wanted the special SCC concrete for the temple. The Self Compacting Concrete is highly flowable, non-segregating, and can spread evenly to fill the formwork and encapsulate the reinforcement without any mechanical consolidation.
Satisfied with the process and the end-product, the team from Mathura placed an order for KYB Conmat’s 90 cubic meter/hour batching plant and three transit mixers of 7 cubic meter capacity. Says Abhishek Prakash, Project Manager, VCM, “KYB-Conmat’s versatile and robust products are the most reliable, and the company is also the best service provider. They give timely after-sales service and their spare parts are easily available. We wanted to partner with such a (reputed) company for this most prestigious project.”
KYB’s stationary concrete batching plants are deployed worldwide for infrastructure construction, especially concrete roads, metro rail, high-rise buildings, dams and other crucial projects.
