The records were achieved
through M/s Rajpath Infracon Pvt. Ltd. on the Bengaluru–Kadapa–Vijayawada
Economic Corridor (NH-544G).

The first record was set
when around 29 lane-kilometres of Bituminous Concrete were laid continuously
within 24 hours, making it the longest distance achieved in a single day.

The second record was
achieved with the laying of over 10,000 metric tonnes of Bituminous Concrete

It will also support
trade, tourism, and regional economic development through faster, safer, and
uninterrupted mobility.
