Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 2: Navayuga Engineering Company Limited (NECL) proudly garners its second Guinness World Records with the construction of the Widest Underground Tunnel, achieved as part of the landmark Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link Project. This extraordinary feat stands as a defining moment in India’s infrastructure journey, showcasing unmatched scale, engineering mastery, and a bold vision to build beyond boundaries.
For decades, the Mumbai-Pune journey through the Sahyadris was scenic yet slow and unpredictable. Under the vision and leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Devendra Fadnavis, the Government of Maharashtra envisioned a transformative solution – bridging the 13.3-kilometre Missing Link, which was delivered by Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Limited (MSRDCL) and brought to life by Navayuga Engineering Company Limited.
Inaugurated on Maharashtra Day, the much-awaited Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link stands as a landmark of engineering brilliance, expanding India’s infrastructure horizon. By bypassing the traffic-prone Khandala Ghats, this transformative route reduces travel time by 30 minutes and significantly eases congestion on one of Maharashtra’s most critical transport corridors.
Marking a defining milestone, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Devendra Fadnavis, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister Shri Eknath Shinde, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister Smt. Sunetra Pawar, and Managing Director of Navayuga Engineering Company Limited, Mr. Chinta Sridhar came together to launch this landmark moment in India’s infrastructure journey.
Mr. Chinta Sridhar, Managing Director, Navayuga Engineering Company Limited, stated, “This is more than a world record, it is a statement of what India can build. Delivering the widest underground tunnel through the challenging basalt terrain of the Sahyadris reflects our ability to execute complex, design-led infrastructure at a global scale. The recognition from Guinness World Records is a proud moment for all of us, and a testament to the trust placed in us by the Government of Maharashtra, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Limited, and the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis. At Navayuga Engineering, we are committed to pushing boundaries and building infrastructure that drives India forward.”
Mr Ramesh Singooru, Senior Vice President and Regional Head of NECL stated that “Having invested millions of manhours marked by perseverance and unwavering dedication toward the realization of the much-awaited Missing Link project, I am immensely delighted and proud to represent Navayuga Engineering Company Limited in achieving a Guinness World Record for this mega initiative.”
He further added that, “The project presented formidable execution challenges, particularly due to complex land constraints and the steep gradients of the hilly and valley terrain. These were addressed through meticulous planning and advanced engineering solutions, including the provision of adits, cross passages at every 300 metres, and the adoption of NATM with controlled blasting to safeguard the adjacent expressway, in compliance with relevant safety norms.”
“Construction beneath a large water body was undertaken with the highest safety standards, supported by state-of-the-art technologies such as SCADA-based monitoring, high-pressure water mist firefighting systems, integrated tunnel management systems (ITMS), public address systems, SOS and emergency response systems, and advanced ventilation mechanisms. The project also involved extensive rock excavation, large-scale concrete works, and the successful integration of viaduct structures across a valley of approx 180 metre, utilizing UHPFRC girders to enable efficient construction in challenging terrain. This landmark project will significantly alleviate congestion in the Khandala ghat section, marking a transformative step in infrastructure development. It sets a new benchmark for excellence and establishes a milestone not only for the state but for the nation as a whole.”
The Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link spans 13.3 km, of which approximately 10.67 km comprises state-of-the-art, 5-lane twin tunnels, each 22.33 metre wide, constructed by Navayuga Engineering Company Limited.
The project involved the excavation of over85 lakh tonne of rock through the challenging terrain of the Sahyadri range. Construction utilised 7,600 tonne of steel, reinforcing the structural strength of the tunnels. Over 1.1 lakh cubic metre of concrete were deployed for shotcrete, enhancing structural stability and durability, while an additional 2.2 lakh cubic metre of concrete were used for PQC (Pavement Quality Concrete), ensuring long-term road performance. The project was delivered through 9 million manhours, reflecting the scale, complexity and human effort behind its execution. With safety as a foremost priority, advanced technologies have been deployed to ensure protection of both commuters and the surrounding environment.
Key Engineering & Safety Highlights of the Widest Underground Twin Tunnel:
The entire Missing Link corridor is monitored 24×7 through a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system, enabling real-time traffic management, air quality monitoring and intelligent tunnel operations.
The project integrates AI-powered monitoring and control systems, ensuring seamless, data-driven decision-making across the tunnel network.
A comprehensive surveillance network comprising bullet cameras, PTZ cameras (at intervals of 150-300 metre) and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems at tunnel entry and exit points ensures continuous monitoring and enhanced security.
The tunnels are equipped with jet fan ventilation systems, with continuous monitoring of Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), maintaining safe and breathable air quality at all times.
SCADA-enabled intelligent ventilation systems automatically regulate airflow to ensure optimal environmental conditions within the tunnels.
Advanced fire safety systems, including automated fire detection and a High-Pressure Water Mist Suppression System, enable rapid response and effective containment in case of emergencies.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 2: Amouve, India’s first organic sleep brand, has built its range around a single conviction: every material that touches your body should be the most honestly made version of itself. At the centre of that range is the Kapok mattress — a fully plant-based, made-to-measure mattress built to the exact dimensions of the bed, the gadda, the diwan, or the sofa seater it is going into. Surrounding it is a complete ecosystem of organic cotton sleep and bath products: from GOTS-certified bed sheets and pillows to luxury bath towels used in some of India’s finest hotels.
UNSYNTHETIC YOUR SLEEP
The question most people never think to ask when buying a mattress is a simple one: what is it made from? For the majority of mattresses on the market, whether sold as a single bed mattress, a double bed mattress, or a king-size mattress — the core answer is the same: processed memory foam. It is a material chosen for manufacturing efficiency, not for the body that will spend a third of its life resting on it. People who sleep on foam mattresses frequently report sleeping warm, noticing a sharp chemical smell in the first weeks, or waking up feeling less restored than expected. These are not coincidences. They are the predictable results of a material that is neither breathable nor inert.
A pure cotton mattress, and particularly one filled with Kapok, known in South India as ilavam panju and also as silk cotton — starts from a fundamentally different premise. Kapok is a silky, featherlight fibre harvested from the seed pods of the Ceiba tree. Amouve’s mattresses are naturally hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating, and moisture-wicking without any chemical processing. The Amouve Kapok Mattress encases this fibre in organic cotton fabric, that is unbleached, untreated and unblended. There is no memory foam, no synthetic latex, no polyester quilting. A natural mattress, in the most literal sense.
“We get asked often whether a cotton mattress is good for daily sleeping, or whether kapok holds up the way foam does. The honest answer is that kapok has been doing this for centuries. We are not replacing foam with a plant. We are returning to a material that was never meant to be replaced.” — Founder, Amouve
CUSTOMISE YOUR MATTRESS: BUILT FOR THE HOME YOU ACTUALLY HAVE
A cotton mattress king size is not the same as a cotton mattress single bed, and neither of them is the same as the gadda a diwan was built around. Indian homes do not conform to catalogue dimensions, and the mattress industry’s insistence on a fixed menu of sizes has always been a compromise that the buyer absorbs quietly. Amouve does not offer that compromise. Every mattress is made to order, with hours of seasoned handcraftsmanship, tufted to the exact width, length, and thickness the customer specifies.
A single bed cotton mattress for a child’s room. A double bed cotton mattress for a guest room that doubles as a study. A queen-size mattress for a frame that runs two inches longer than standard. A cotton mattress king size for a bed built into an architectural alcove. A foldable mattress for anyone who refuses to compromise on material just because the format folds. Amouve makes all of these, and anything in between, without treating a non-standard size as a special request. It is simply how every mattress here is made.
THE FOLDABLE COTTON MATTRESS
Not every home has a fixed bed for every sleeping surface it needs. The foldable cotton mattress is one of the most popular products in the natural sleep category. Most foldable mattresses on the market use foam, practical in form, but carrying the same material concerns as any other foam product. Amouve’s foldable mattress offers the same pure Kapok cotton fill and organic cotton cover in a format designed to fold, store, and return to shape. For a guest room that becomes a home office, for floor – sleeping, for compact urban apartments a foldable cotton mattress is a daily-use item rather than an occasional one; the material honesty does not change with the format.
FROM THE GADDA TO THE LOUNGE CHAIR: NATURAL FILL ACROSS YOUR ENTIRE HOME
The logic of an unsynthetic home does not stop at the bedroom door. Amouve’s Kapok customisation extends to every surface a body rests against. The diwan mattress — a cotton gadda by another name, and one of the hardest sizes to source correctly in India, can be ordered to the exact dimension. The settee, the couch, the two-seater and three-seater sofa: all carry cushions that, in most homes, are filled with whatever foam or polyfill insert the manufacturer chose. Amouve replaces that fill with kapok, cut to the precise measurements of the furniture it is going into. For those who have invested in a luxury sofa or a lounge sofa and found that the seating cushions flatten or retain heat over time, a kapok fill is a meaningful upgrade. Lounge chair back cushions, sofa back cushions, floor cushions for low-seating arrangements — each made to order, in the same organic cotton and kapok as the mattress range.
LUXURY BATH TOWELS: THE SAME STANDARD, CARRIED INTO THE BATHROOM
The same material logic that applies to the mattress applies to what you reach for after a shower. Amouve’s luxury bath towels are made from extra-long staple GOTS-certified organic cotton, woven with a proprietary low-twist yarn that makes them more absorbent than Egyptian cotton or Turkish cotton towels, and considerably more durable than the softener-coated alternatives most brands sell. Available in 600 GSM and 700 GSM weights, they are used in some of India’s most respected hotels, including the Taj, and are available for the home in bath towel, hand towel, face towel, bath mats and bath robe formats. No bleach. No fabric softeners. No chemical finishes that wash out after two uses. For those building a home around honest materials, the luxury bath towel is the natural companion to the mattress. Both sit against the skin for hours. Both deserve the same question: what are they actually made from?
HOW TO ORDER
Every Amouve mattress and custom fill product is made to order. Customers provide their dimensions at the time of purchase, and each piece is crafted individually. Standard sizes are available as a reference point. Lead times are communicated and range between 18-20 days. Amouve ships across India; international enquiries are handled directly through the website.
