About Upadhyay Group

Built across
four generations.

A diversified infrastructure group whose story began on the Ganga. From operating ferries and pontoon bridges in pre-Independence India to developing modern infrastructure today, Upadhyay Group has remained committed to serving the public throughout India’s evolving history.

Where it started

From the Ganga to India’s highways

In 1925, Pt Gorakhnath Upadhyay established a ferry-services enterprise on the Ganga. The business eventually operated more than 250 ferries, steamers, launch ferries and barges, connecting communities and enabling the movement of people and goods.

As India’s transport infrastructure evolved, the Group evolved with it—moving from ferries and pontoon bridges to bridge tolling, state highways and national highways. Today, that legacy of public service continues across five business verticals.
