Kedarnath Ropeway Project
Gautam Adani recently shared a video on social media platform Adani Group is building a state-of-the-art ropeway to connect the holy Kedarnath Dham of Uttarakhand with Sonprayag. This ropeway will help the devotees to complete their journey in a simpler, safer and less time than before.
Distance of 12.9 km will be covered in 36 minutes
This new ropeway will be a total of 12.9 kilometers long from Sonprayag to Kedarnath. As of now, it takes around 8 to 9 hours to complete this journey, which involves challenges like climbing on foot and weather. But after the construction of this ropeway, this distance can be covered in only 36 minutes. This is a matter of great relief especially for the elderly, women and children.
1800 passengers will be able to travel every hour
Modern technology is being used in this project. The Gondola (cabin) with a capacity of 35 people at a time will be able to travel 1800 passengers in one direction every hour. This will be India’s first 3S tri-cable ropeway, which will be counted among the world’s safest and advanced ropeway technologies.
Adani Group’s big investment and promise
According to an IANS report, a total investment of Rs 4,081 crore is being made on this project. It will be constructed by the Roads, Metro, Rail and Water Division (RMRW) of Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL). The company has got the right to build this project and thereafter operate it for 29 years. It will take approximately 6 years to complete the construction work.
The difficult climb of Kedarnath Dham will now be easy. Adani Group is building this ropeway to make the journey of devotees simple and safe.
It is a matter of pride for us to be a part of this noble cause. May Mahadev shower his blessings on everyone.

Balancing tourism and environment
An IANS report said that another important aspect of this project is that Adani Group is also keeping environmental balance in mind. Carrying out construction work in hilly areas is challenging for the environment, but the company promises that this construction work will be done with the participation of local people, sustainable development and as per government approvals.
Part of the Ranges Project
This ropeway is being built under the Range Project of the Central Government. Its objective is to promote connectivity means like ropeway in hilly areas, which will boost tourism and local economy. This facility can prove to be a big boon for the pilgrims at a pilgrimage place like Kedarnath.
