The company’s subsidiary, Ludhiana Bathinda Greenfield Highway Private Limited, signed a concession agreement with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for a highway development project worth ₹981 crore.
The project involves the construction of a six-lane, access-controlled highway section of NH-754AD.

The project covers a length of 45.243 kilometres, from km 30+300 to km 75+543. It is part of the Ludhiana-Ajmer Economic Corridor under Bharatmala Pariyojna Phase-I, Package-2.
This project will be executed under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM) and is expected to be completed within 24 months. Ceigall India will also handle the operation and maintenance of the highway upon its completion.
