J Infratech has recently secured a Rs 1.2 billion crore highway reconstruction project from the National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDCL) under the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. The work covers selected stretches of the Jhanji–Demow section of NH-37 (Old) in Assam, spanning 20.44 km between Km 514.360 and Km 534.800.

Its reconstruction is expected to improve ride quality, strengthen pavement durability and enhance safety for both passenger and freight traffic. Upgraded road infrastructure along this route is also anticipated to support smoother logistics, reduce travel time and contribute to the region’s broader economic development.

According to Mr Abhishek Singla, GM – Business Development, the company remains committed to meeting the tight schedule while adhering to stringent engineering and safety standards, in line with NHIDCL’s expectations for high-impact transport projects.
