MEIL is known for its expertise in executing complex infrastructure projects, and our company has been involved in the construction of several major projects across India. Our company is committed to delivering any project on time and to the highest standards of quality and safety. 

One such project MEIL is executing is the Zojila tunnel project in Jammu & Kashmir. This is a challenging project, given the difficult terrain and the extreme weather conditions in the region. The project will involve the construction of a road network, a railway line, and the necessary infrastructure to support these systems. 

Usually, Zojila Pass is a critical link between the Kargil and Leh regions of Jammu, which remains closed for around half a year due to heavy snowfall. Once completed, the project will ensure year-round connectivity to the Ladakh region between Srinagar and Leh, which is of strategic importance due to its proximity to the border with China and Pakistan. The project will also facilitate the transportation of troops, weapons, and supplies to the region.

For this project, we deployed the latest technologies and updated equipment to ensure that the project is executed with low pollution levels and with the utmost concern for the environment. We are using the New Austrian Tunnelling Method, a technique used for the construction of underground tunnels, in constructing a 14.5 km tunnel. This will be the longest bi-directional tunnel in Asia. 

The Zojila project is a testament to MEIL's commitment to innovation, technology, and the environment, and it will have a transformative impact on the region and the country as a whole.
