India has achieved a significant landmark in highway infrastructure development after setting two Guinness World Records on the Bengaluru–Kadapa–Vijayawada Economic Corridor (NH-544G) in Andhra Pradesh. The records were accomplished on 6 January 2026 along the Vanavolu–Vankarakunta stretch of the six-lane corridor being developed under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
The record-breaking execution was carried out by Rajpath Infracon Private Limited, a Maharashtra-based infrastructure company. Within a continuous 24-hour period, the company successfully laid 28.95 kilometres of bituminous road lanes while consuming 10,675 metric tonnes of bituminous concrete near Puttaparthi in Sathya Sai district. This achievement has been officially recognised by Guinness World Records.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu termed the accomplishment a moment of national pride, attributing it to the Government of India’s focus on strengthening road infrastructure and the leadership of Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari. He noted that the project adhered strictly to NHAI’s quality standards, demonstrating a high level of engineering accuracy, planning, and coordinated on-site execution. Summarising the achievement, the Chief Minister stated, “India builds. Andhra Pradesh delivers.”
The newly set records further reinforce Rajpath Infracon’s standing in high-speed road construction, adding to its existing credentials as a two-time Guinness World Records holder. The company is continuing work on Packages 2 and 3 of the NH-544G project until 11 January, with plans to attempt two additional Guinness World Records. These include the construction of 42.2 kilometres of continuous two-lane bituminous roadway on the Vanavolu–Vankarakunta–Odulapalle section, along with another record involving the use of at least 36,634 metric tonnes of construction material.
A formal ceremony is scheduled to be held in Puttaparthi on 12 January, during which Union Minister Nitin Gadkari is expected to present the official Guinness World Record certificates to the project team.
