Andhra Pradesh has awarded a ₹100 crore road maintenance contract to Markolines Pavement Technologies, strengthening the state’s highway infrastructure push and reflecting the growing demand for sustainable, long-term road solutions. The five-year project, bagged from Trans Metalite India, will focus on advanced repair works aimed at extending the lifespan of highways while minimising environmental impact.
The deal marks a significant milestone for Markolines, which has been steadily expanding its footprint in the infrastructure maintenance space. According to officials, the project will include extensive patch repair works and deployment of innovative pavement technologies that are expected to reduce the frequency of rework and optimise resource use. In addition to this latest contract, the company has already secured multiple orders worth nearly ₹97.5 crore during the current fiscal year. Among them are repeat assignments from long-standing clients, including projects on the Varanasi–Aurangabad NH-2 corridor. Industry experts view this as a sign of the company’s credibility in the highly competitive road maintenance segment.
Executives associated with the project highlighted that the company’s unexecuted order book has now crossed ₹400 crore. This pipeline is expected to translate into revenues over the next two years, supported by India’s growing infrastructure investments. With the government emphasising all-weather, durable highways as a backbone of national connectivity, specialised maintenance providers like Markolines are becoming increasingly integral to the transport ecosystem. Markolines, headquartered in Mumbai, positions itself as an integrated highway operations and maintenance solutions provider. Its portfolio includes preventive maintenance, micro-surfacing, cold in-place recycling, and other specialised techniques designed to reduce carbon footprints and extend road durability. Officials associated with the company noted that these methods not only reduce the reliance on fresh construction materials but also contribute to India’s climate goals by minimising waste.
The Andhra Pradesh order is also in line with the broader narrative of sustainable infrastructure, where emphasis is shifting from mere expansion to lifecycle management of assets. Experts say that extending the life of existing roads through scientific methods is far more resource-efficient than repeated reconstruction. The latest development underscores the rising role of private contractors in public infrastructure management. With an order pipeline supported by both government and private entities, Markolines is well-positioned to benefit from India’s ongoing highway expansion and maintenance wave. For commuters and freight operators in Andhra Pradesh, this means smoother, safer, and more resilient roads over the coming years.
