In a landmark achievement for Indian infrastructure, Patel Infrastructure Ltd. (PATEL) of Gujarat has set a World Record for the fastest construction of a 6-lane highway segment on the prestigious Ganga Expressway, India’s longest state-owned expressway and a flagship project under the visionary leadership of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
This monumental feat saw the laying of bituminous concrete across 34.24 kilometers using 20,105 metric tons of material, covering an area of 171,210 square meters — all completed within an astonishing 24 hours of non-stop operations.
The record also includes the installation of 10 kilometers of metal beam crash barriers by Patel’s ancillary firm, Road Shield Private Limited, further showcasing the group’s integrated capabilities in rapid, high-quality road infrastructure development.
This engineering marvel has been officially recognized by three esteemed record authorities:
- Golden Book of World Records
- India Book of Records
- Asia Book of Records
PATEL’s achievement not only reinforces India’s growing prowess in large-scale infrastructure development but also exemplifies precision planning, cutting-edge execution, and relentless teamwork. The Ganga Expressway project is expected to significantly reduce travel time across Uttar Pradesh, boost economic connectivity, and serve as a model for future expressway construction across the nation.
With this record-breaking milestone, Patel Infrastructure Ltd. has once again positioned itself at the forefront of India’s infrastructure transformation journey.
