1. Tunnel Construction Projects
in India by Shapoorji Pallonji
Group
Improving connectivity across India
Connectivity is of key importance in urban and sub-urban cities
that are particularly characterised by a fast-paced lifestyle.

2. Maintaining the quality of life associated with these cities
requires top-notch infrastructure that can support the needs of
all the residents.
The Shapoorji Pallonji Group understands the needs of
commuters who require connectivity and quality infrastructure
for the smooth flow of operations. To provide quality tunnel
construction in India, the Shapoorji Group has constructed 3
key tunnel projects.
Here are some of the key features of India’s best
tunnels:
1. Atal Tunnel, Himachal Pradesh

3. Constructed in Himachal Pradesh in 2020, the Atal tunnel is the
world’s longest highway tunnel located in Manali. Built 10,000
ft. above mean sea level, this tunnel was named after the late
former Prime Minister of India, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

4. Nestled under the Rohtang Pass in the eastern Pir Panjal range
of the Himalayas, the tunnel is 9.02 km in length and 10 m in
width. Dignified with the glory of being the world’s longest
motorable highway tunnel, it stands at an altitude of 3,071
meters

2. KRCL tunnel, Sangaldan (J&K)

5. In 2015, Afcons engineered the construction of 5 BG single-line
railway tunnels for Konkan Railway Corporation Limited
(KRCL). This tunnel is located on the Katra-Laole section of the
Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) in Jammu &
Kashmir.

6. The total length of the tunnels, including cut and cover, was
approximately 8,500 m. What sets it apart from the plethora of
other tunnels in India is its use of state-of-the-art technology of
the New Austrian Tunnelling method (NATM) along with the
conventional method.

was inaugurated on March 6, 2024. The underwater metro line
services were opened to the public on March 15, 2024. Kolkata
