Afcons Infrastructure Limited has achieved a remarkable milestone by winning three prestigious awards for its engineering excellence in December 2024. The recognition was conferred at two major industry events—the CII Industrial Innovation Awards and the ET Infra Leadership Summit. At the CII Industrial Innovation Awards, held on December 13, 2024, Afcons was honored among the Top 75 Innovative Companies for 2024, acknowledging its continuous dedication to advancing engineering and technology in the infrastructure sector.

Additionally, Afcons earned two significant awards at the ET Infra Leadership Summit, also held on December 13, 2024, in New Delhi. The UG1 Package of the Kolkata Metro was awarded for Excellence in Transportation Infrastructure – Railways, while the Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg PKG-14 was recognized for Excellence in Transportation Infrastructure – Roads & Highways. These projects demonstrate Afcons’ leadership in handling complex, high-impact infrastructure projects.

Kolkata Metro UG1 Package

The UG1 Package of the Kolkata Metro is a milestone in India’s transportation history, featuring the country's first underwater transportation tunnel beneath the Hooghly River. The project also boasts the deepest metro station in India, Howrah Metro Station, located 30 meters below ground level, and the deepest ventilation shaft in the country, extending 43.5 meters below the surface. This achievement underscores Afcons' capability in delivering cutting-edge engineering solutions for challenging underground projects.

Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg PKG-14

On the other hand, the Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg PKG-14 project features India's widest twin road tunnels, each 17.61 meters in width, and the longest completed road tunnels in Maharashtra, stretching 7.78 kilometers. The tunnel design, with a 2.49% downward gradient and S-curve shape, aims to mitigate the steep slope of the Kasara Ghat section, allowing vehicles to maintain a design speed of 120 km/h. This innovation further demonstrates Afcons’ commitment to pioneering engineering solutions for highway infrastructure.

Afcons’ success at these events highlights its ongoing efforts to embrace technological innovation, maintain excellence in project execution, and foster a culture of innovation in extreme engineering. The company presented its highly challenging Chenab Railway Bridge project at the CII Awards to showcase its capabilities in handling complex and high-stakes engineering assignments.
