IJM India Infrastructure (IJMII) has set a record by laying 25.54 km road stretch in a short span of 17:45 hours on the Solapur-Bijapur section on NH-13.

The length of the project is 110 km of four-/six-laning of Solapur-Bijapur section on NH-13 and is one of the largest contracts of Rs 2,300 crore awarded by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on design, build, finance, operate & transfer (DBFOT) basis.

About 14,832 tonne of bituminous concrete mix was produced from hot mix plants and laid in achieving this. Heavy-load carrying vehicles having the capacity up to 30 tonne were deployed to transport the above material from the hot mix plants to the highway stretches, leading to about 494 trips.

To cover the above distance within a short time, it has used 90 dumpers, six 9.5 mtr sensor pavers and numerous vehicles used in highways construction.

IJM India is a subsidiary company of IJM Construction Berhad with its Group Headquarters at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
