The National Highways Logistics Management Ltd awarded Adani Enterprises Ltd a contract worth Rs 4,081 crore to construct a ropeway between Sonprayag and Kedarnath. This marks the company's first ropeway venture, which will take six years to build through their Roads, Metro, Rail, and Water division. The 12.9-kilometer aerial transport system will cut journey time from nine hours of difficult trekking to merely 36 minutes.

The ropeway can transport 1,800 people hourly in each direction, serving millions of annual pilgrims who visit this sacred destination. Kedarnath attracts approximately two million devotees yearly, demonstrating the project's significance for religious tourism. This infrastructure development is part of the National Ropeways Development Programme, known as Parvatmala Pariyojana.

Adani Group will operate the facility for 29 years after completion under a public-private partnership arrangement. Chairman Gautam Adani described the project as connecting faith with modern infrastructure while creating employment opportunities for Uttarakhand residents. The initiative will enhance regional tourism and provide safer access to the holy shrine.
