Recently National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has made news after achieving two Guinness World Records for laying Bituminous Concrete on the Vanavolu-Vankarakunta section of the six-lane Bengaluru-Kadapa-Vijayawada Economic Corridor during the construction of the Bengaluru–Kadapa–Vijayawada Expressway.
A Proud Moment for India
In this record, they have included around 29 lane kilometers which is the longest distance of Bituminous Concrete laid continuously within 24 hours, and over ten thousand metric tonnes, the highest quantity of Bituminous Concrete laid continuously within 24 hours.
This achievement was announced by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday, who described it as a proud moment for both India and the state.
NHAI said that they are developing the 343-kilometre-long Bengaluru-Kadapa-Vijayawada Economic Corridor to strengthen inter-state connectivity between Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh in a social media post.
This initiative will also help in supporting trade, tourism, and regional economic growth through faster, safer, and uninterrupted mobility.
These record-setting achievements reflect the country’s growing capability and commitment to developing world-class National Highway infrastructure, said the authorities.
In addition to this, two more Guinness World Record attempts are currently underway on the Vanavolu-Vankarakunta-Odulapalle section of NH-544G, informed the NHAI.
Basically this achievement reflects the vision of the Government of India and their strong focus on developing the world-class highway infrastructure under Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, said Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
Moving ahead, the Chief Minister praised the engineers, workers, and field teams for their dedication and hard work.

“Today, NHAI, through M/s Rajpath Infracon Pvt. Ltd., achieved two Guinness World Records on the Bengaluru–Kadapa–Vijayawada Economic Corridor (NH-544G) by laying 28.95 lane-kilometres and 10,675 MT of Bituminous Concrete continuously within 24 hours.”
