Adani Cement Powers World’s Highest Railway Bridge Over Chenab

A Monumental Achievement in Indian Infrastructure

The world’s highest railway bridge, soaring 359 meters above the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir, stands as a towering symbol of India’s engineering prowess and its vision to connect even the remotest regions. At the heart of this landmark project is Adani Cement, which supplied 65,000 metric tonnes of premium-grade cement, ensuring the structure’s strength, durability, and resilience in the face of extreme climatic and geological challenges.

Strength and Durability: Adani’s Cement Legacy

Adani Cement, comprising Ambuja Cements and ACC, played a pivotal role as the lead cement supplier for the Chenab Bridge. The cement used was Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) 43 Grade—renowned for its high strength, consistent quality, and exceptional performance in large-scale, complex infrastructure projects. This choice of material was crucial, as the bridge is engineered to withstand seismic activity, high winds, and the harsh environmental conditions of the Himalayan region.

A Vision for Nation-Building

Vinod Bahety, CEO of Cement Business at Adani Group, expressed immense pride in contributing to a project that redefines engineering boundaries and fosters national integration. “Every bag of cement carries the weight of the nation’s progress,” Bahety remarked. “The Chenab Bridge is a shining example of how our commitment to quality, consistency, and timely delivery supports India’s infrastructure story.”

Connecting India’s Heartland: The Chenab Bridge

The 1,315-meter-long steel arch bridge is a vital part of Indian Railways’ ambitious infrastructure expansion, designed to connect the Kashmir valley with the rest of India. Inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent visit to Jammu and Kashmir, the bridge is not only an architectural marvel but also a testament to India’s resolve to build world-class infrastructure in its most challenging terrains.

A Legacy of Excellence and Innovation

Adani Cement’s involvement in the Chenab Bridge project reinforces its position as a preferred partner in nation-building—from urban skylines to remote frontiers. The company’s commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable solutions is evident in its support for projects that drive growth, resilience, and transformation across the country.

A Broader Vision for India’s Infrastructure

During his visit, Prime Minister Modi also inaugurated the Anji Bridge, India’s first cable-stayed rail bridge, further underscoring the nation’s commitment to innovative engineering and connectivity. Together, these projects highlight the critical role of premium construction materials and visionary partnerships in shaping India’s future.
