Ceigall India’s subsidiary, Ceigall Ludhiana Bathinda Greenfield Highway, has received the appointed date from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for the ₹981 crore Ludhiana–Bathinda Greenfield highway project.

The contract involves the construction of a six-lane access-controlled highway along NH-754AD, spanning from Moga-Barnala Road near Tallewal village to the Delhi-Katra Expressway near Ballowal village in Ludhiana, covering chainage km 30+300 to km 75+543. This stretch forms a vital link in the Ludhiana–Ajmer Economic Corridor, being developed under Bharatmala Pariyojna Phase-I.

The project will be executed under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) with a construction timeline of 24 months, followed by a 15-year operation and maintenance period.

Ceigall’s leadership highlighted the project’s significance in boosting regional connectivity, enhancing logistics efficiency, and contributing to economic development. This project adds to Ceigall’s growing portfolio, which also includes infrastructure initiatives like the ₹509.20 crore Aerotropolis internal roads project in Mohali—further cementing its role in India’s infrastructure growth story.
