Adani Cement Powers Iconic Chenab Rail Bridge Build

12 Jun 2025 CW Team

Adani Cement, which includes Ambuja Cements and ACC under the diversified Adani portfolio, played a central role in the construction of the world’s highest railway arch bridge over the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir. The landmark project, a symbol of India’s infrastructure ambitions, was led by Indian Railways.

Adani Cement supplied approximately 65,000 metric tonnes of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) 43 Grade, known for its high strength and durability. The grade was specifically chosen to meet the demanding structural and environmental conditions of the mountainous region, making the company a key contributor to the bridge’s construction.

Commenting on the achievement, Vinod Bahety, CEO of Adani Group’s Cement Business, said, “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 every bag of cement carries the weight of the nation’s progress.”

The Chenab Bridge, a vital component of Indian Railways’ infrastructure expansion in the northern frontier, is considered a marvel of engineering. It spans the rugged terrain of Jammu and Kashmir and reflects India’s determination to connect remote regions through advanced infrastructure.

This milestone further strengthens Adani Cement’s role as a preferred partner in India’s nation-building journey. Whether shaping modern cities or reinforcing distant frontiers, the company remains committed to delivering materials that support growth, resilience, and sustainable development.
