Setting new global benchmarks in highway engineering 🛣️, NHAI has created history by achieving two more Guinness World Records in continuous Bituminous Concrete paving. A record 156 lane-km of paving and 57,500 MT of Bituminous Concrete were laid continuously, surpassing the previous world record of 84.4 lane-km. Achieved across... Package-2 and Package-3 of the 6-lane Bengaluru–Kadapa–Vijayawada Economic Corridor near Puttaparthi, this milestone was enabled by advanced machinery, robust logistics, and stringent quality control, with support from premier institutions like IIT Bombay. Earlier, on 6 January 2026, NHAI had already set two global records on the same corridor by laying 28.8 lane-km and 10,655 MT of Bituminous Concrete within 24 hours. Under the visionary leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji, these achievements highlight India 🇮🇳’s rising leadership in world-class highway infrastructure and large-scale project execution. #WorldRecord #BituminousConcretePaving #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti #GWR2026 N Chandrababu Naidu Pawan Kalyan Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu Dr. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma PVN Madhav (Modi Ka Parivar) IIT Bombay Guinness World Records MORTHINDIA NHAIshow more

While these records are absolutely fantastic, please act on these as well..

you have another great record where roads only last 2-6 months intact and needs repair after that..Pathetic quality roads everywhere

Meanwhile in the Financial Capital of India a 900m road takes 600 days.

@ncbn Request @NHAI_Official to similarly plan linking @BDAOfficialGok -built #MAR with Bengaluru-Mysuru highway for ease of seamless connectivity of large roads.

World-class highways should feel world-class too: no bumps, no patches, no surprises at speed.

Quality matters... Good Quality never comes fast....it needs proper attention and execution I'm sure a days traffic on that road will surely give a 0.1 quality rating..

can we apply similar technology in BLR TUMKUR Shivamogga and get the work completed quickly

A five-storey building collapsed in June 2025, followed by road cave-ins later in 2025, and now cracks in a six-storey building in January 2026—all along the same NH-5 Shimla Bypass (Bhattakufar–Chalaunthi corridor) during active tunnelling/four-laning works. Multiple reports and official statements point to unscientific construction practices in a highly fragile Himalayan geology. What is even more concerning is that tunnel designs were reportedly flagged as “UNSAFE” by design reviewers, yet approvals were granted and construction continued. This raises serious concerns about failure of independent oversight and possible collusive supervision between the Independent Engineer (IE) and Project authorities (PD). This is not about rhetoric or blame—it is about engineering ethics, public safety, and accountability. Himalayan tunnelling cannot be executed with diluted checks, ignored warnings, or compromised supervision. An independent technical and vigilance examination of design approvals and supervisory decisions is urgently needed before lives are put at further risk. #Shimla #UnscientificConstruction #TunnelSafety #PublicSafety #HimalayanGeology #InfrastructureAccountability #EngineeringEthics #NHAI

Wonderful achievement. Yet, I cringe every time a Bharat government official cites recognition by the Guiness Brewery Book of World Records. One more opportunity for #Decolonisation.

Aren’t you tired of fooling Indians and destroying tax payer money? Show the Proof that it was entered in GBWR. And also show the condition of this road 6 months after commissioning.

स्पेस टेक्नोलॉजी हैं, इस लोड के लिए रास्ता बताओं, ब्रिज लगातार गिर रहे हैं, रोड़ एक्सीडेंट में 43800 अधिक लोग मर रहे है ये सरकारी आकड़ा है हकिकत इससे बढ़कर ही होगा, टोल नाकों पर कैश लो नहीं तो फासटैग से, कटमनी लेना ही है तो खुलकर लो, रोड़ एक्सीडेंट कम क्यों नहीं हो रहें हैं 20/कि

First make the roads last. Next build footpaths everywhere on a war footing before bragging. No one believes your sh!t when the entire country looks like a 3rd world sh!thole.

More question : How long will it last , till summer or next rain ?

After one month: Patch work

We appreaciate the efforts and progress being made in Road infrastructure, along we request you to fix the regional monitoring authorites having corrupt contractors, vendors who r degrading the quality of NH roads in semi urban, sub rural towns.

Great work, pic Speaks .

Please act on the roads, lanes in city areas and village areas. These roads are like death pools, anyone can die due to accidents

.@iitbombay involvement is a positive step. The next monsoons will be the real test for quality of drainage, and efficacy of anti-corruption audits (hopefully those are ongoing too).

Major concerns are related to quality and longevity. These high cost roads using tax payers money get potholes and crack within 6 months.

Thank you This is my new #ViksitBharat

#पुणे_सातारा_महामार्ग NH48 #पुनावळे #ताथवडे Underpasses, Service Roads Horribly Pathetic Conditions Past for More Than 5 Years! @NHAI_Official BABUs Throw #CPGRAMS #PMOPG Grievances in Dustbins Without Doing Any Work Whatsoever! @PMOIndia @PMOIndia @Dev_Fadnavis @maheshklandge

Congratulations to @NHAI_Official & u. U also forgot to mention that you created new world record of road lasting for shortest duration😂 @narendramodi

Sir, you should spill the beans. Why Numaligarh-Dibrugarh 4 lane-ing, 200 km, couldn't be completed in 130 months?? During this period @sarbanandsonwal was CM for 5 years, @himantabiswa completing 5 years!! @narendramodi @PMOIndia @assamtribuneoff @DY365 @News18Northeast @nktvNE @nd24_news @PragNews @pratidinasomiya @pratidintime @htTweets @IndianExpress @BJP4Assam @BJP4India

Sir only records does it matter.? When many projects are IN WORK from years. For example 1. Hubli Dharwad in Karnataka 2.Near Sankeshwar. 3. 40% Pune Bangalore highway has so many uneven and bad patches. 4. Belgaum Goa is a transport hub still poor roads.

Why so much negativity in the comment section? If someone is doing, why not encourage and support them rather than spread negativity...we are born to criticize everything than taking responsibility...God help us 🙏

any record on QUALITY of construction? @MORTHIndia

This is not a real achievement. A true Guinness World Record should focus on long-lasting, damage-resistant roads.

BJP has been in power for 12 years now. Both Rajasthan and Haryana have BJP governments now. you could easily do it if you really wanted improvement.🙏

Hearty Congratulations on the fantastic achievement. Jai Hind..

@ncbn Sai Ram 🙏🏻

जय हिंद, जय भारत 🇮🇳

But Gadkari Ji The Toll Booth experience is as bad as was in 2014 ! Also nothing beats the Agra LKO Expressway in terms if quality of road Almost no undulations as opposed to what has been build post ! EPE is already straining due to poor road quality , sending automobiles flying due to undulations

I really wish out third class MCG Gurgaon workers learn about this and makes some good roads. Internal roads of Gurgaon are the worst. Mr. Gadkari ji kindly take note of the situation and do something about the poor road infrastructure handled by your govt in Gurgaon.
