India is witnessing a historic transformation in road infrastructure. The Delhi–Mumbai Expressway (DME), stretching nearly 1,386 kilometers, is the country’s longest and most ambitious expressway project. Designed as an eight-lane, access-controlled greenfield expressway (expandable to twelve lanes), it will slash travel time between Delhi and Mumbai from 24 hours to just 12 hours, and between Vadodara and Mumbai from 6 hours to just 3.5 hours.
Packages 5, 6, 7, 11, and 12 are being executed by DCC Infra Projects Limited, G.R. Infraprojects Ltd., IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd., RKC Infrabuilt Ltd., and Montecarlo Ltd. (MCL). Together, these companies are delivering earthwork, bridge works, and pavement construction up to the Granular Sub-Base (GSB) level.
To ensure flawless execution, these giants have partnered with Vijay V. Patel Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. (VVP Infra) as a trusted subcontractor for earthwork, bridge support, and GSB operations.
