Adani Cement has completed the world’s largest religious temple raft foundation casting at the Umiya Dham in Jaspur, near Ahmedabad, the company announced on Thursday. The company entered the Golden Book of World Records, USA for achieving this feat.

“Umiya Dham is set to become an iconic spiritual landmark, spanning 60 acres and representing an investment of approximately ₹2,000 crore. This project is not just about setting world records - it embodies the quality, scale, speed, and purpose that defines Adani Cement. Our ECOMaxX low carbon concrete has enabled the structure to reduce its carbon emissions by 60%,” said Vinod Bahety, CEO – Cement Business, Adani Group, in a statement.

The massive foundation-laying effort spanned nearly three days, with an uninterrupted 54-hour operation that used 24,100 cubic metres of ECOMaxX M45 grade low-carbon concrete, Adani Cement’s proprietary mix, the company stated in its press release.

The company achieved this feat along with Adani Group's associate PSP Infra. Over 26 ready-mix concrete plants, 285 transit mixers running in a tightly coordinated logistics network, 3,600 tonnes of high-performance cement, and more than 600 skilled workers and technical experts helped in the completion of the raft foundation casting.

The raft foundation casting entails laying down the foundation for a large, continuous concrete slab to support massive structures like temples to ensure that the load is evenly distributes across the ground.

The Umiya Dham is expected to be the world’s tallest temple, measuring 450 ft x 400 ft x 8 ft. The raft foundation will support over 1500 Dharma Stambhs (pillars) for the 504 ft tall Jagat Janani Maa Umiya Temple.

“This world-record foundation of Jagat Janani Maa Umiya (Parvati) temple is a proud moment for India’s cultural and engineering heritage,” said R.P. Patel, President, Vishv Umiya Foundation, in a statement.

Adani Cement recently was also involved in the construction of the Chenab Railway Bridge in Jammu & Kashmir, aside from the Umiya Dham temple.
