The Ganga Expressway is a 594-kilometre, six-lane to eight-lane greenfield corridor from Meerut to Prayagraj. Developed primarily by Adani Road Transport Ltd., it aims to cut travel time, reduce fuel costs, spur industrial corridors, and enhance tourism across 12 districts and 519 villages, with extensive road safety and smart infrastructure features
The Ganga Expressway, named after the river that has sustained one of the most fertile and densely populated regions in the world, is emerging as one of India’s most ambitious infrastructure projects. Designed to improve connectivity across Uttar Pradesh and strengthen economic activity across the region, the expressway is expected to become a key catalyst for industrial growth, logistics efficiency and tourism.
Stretching 594 kilometres from Meerut to Prayagraj, the expressway will connect 12 districts and 519 villages, benefiting nearly 8 crore people. With a total project cost exceeding ₹36,000 crore, it is being developed as India’s largest greenfield expressway and also the largest Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) road project in the country, with a 30-year concession period in which traffic risk is borne by the developer. A major portion of the project-464 kilometres, nearly 80% of the total stretch-is being developed by Adani Road Transport Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Ltd. (AEL). The remaining 130 kilometres are being developed by IRB Infrastructure Developers.
