Adani plays major role in Chenab bridge works

Ahmedabad: Adani Cement on Wednesday said it has played a pivotal role in the construction of the world’s highest railway arch bridge at Chenab in Jammu and Kashmir -- a landmark of India’s infrastructure ambition.

Adani Cement, comprising Ambuja Cements and ACC and a key part of the diversified Adani Portfolio, was the lead cement supplier in the project with 65,000 metric tonnes — making it a key contributor to the structural backbone of the bridge.

The cement supplied was Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) 43 Grade, known for its high strength, durability, and consistent quality, making it ideal for complex and large-scale infrastructure exposed to extreme climatic and geological conditions, informed the company.

“It is a matter of immense pride for us to be part of a project that not only redefines engineering boundaries but also contributes to national integration. At Adani Cement, we believe that every bag of cement carries the weight of the nation’s progress,” said Vinod Bahety, CEO–Cement Business, Adani Group.

Spanning the formidable terrain of Jammu and Kashmir, the Chenab Bridge is a triumph of design, execution, and resilience.
