Patel Infrastructure Sets World Record on Ganga Expressway Project
Patel Infrastructure Ltd. (PATEL), Gujarat, has set a world record for the fastest construction of a 6-lane stretch on the Ganga Expressway—India’s longest state-owned expressway. This achievement marks a milestone in the country’s infrastructure development and adds to the momentum of Uttar Pradesh’s flagship project, envisioned by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
This world record consists of laying bituminous concrete on 34.24 kilometers, using 20,105 metric tons of bituminous concrete and covering 171,210 square meters, all within 24 hours of non-stop operations and 10km of metal beam crash barrier installation by and PATEL ancillary company, ROAD SHIELD PRIVATE LIMITED. This achievement has been officially recognised and authenticated by three major record authorities- the Golden Book of World Records, the India Book of Records, and the Asia Book of Records.
The WORLD RECORD was made possible under the vision and supervision of UPEIDA CEO Shri MANOJ KUMAR SINGH. With full support from local and state authorities, the completion of this critical stretch holds immense significance for both the local region and the state of Uttar Pradesh, serving as a catalyst for regional development and national connectivity.
The record-setting effort took place on the prestigious Ganga Expressway Project (Group 3), a project of ADANI ROAD AND TRANSPORT LIMITED (ARTL), an ADANI GROUP COMPANY, a landmark infrastructure initiative spearheaded by the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), between Hardoi and Unnao districts. Operations commenced sharply at 5:00 AM on May 17, 2025, and were accomplished by 5:00 AM on May 18, 2025, beating target quantities, involving a highly coordinated effort of engineers, machinery, materials, and skilled labour working seamlessly for 24 hours straight.
Arvind Patel, Managing Director, Patel Infrastructure Ltd. “We are proud to be contributing to nation-building through such monumental achievements. This is not just a record, it’s a reflection of Indian engineering brilliance and our team’s unwavering spirit.”
