about VAH
Varanasi Aurangabad NH-2 Tollway Private Limited (VAH), is more than a highway concessionaire — we are a purpose-led organisation committed to building infrastructure that transforms lives and accelerates India’s development journey. As custodians of one of the country’s most important transport corridors, we recognise that our responsibility goes beyond building and maintaining a road; it extends to shaping the social and economic fabric of the communities we serve.
Entrusted with the construction, operation, and maintenance of the 192 km, six-lane Varanasi–Aurangabad highway, we enable seamless movement, safer travel, and faster connectivity between key cultural, commercial, and agricultural hubs. This corridor is a lifeline for millions — connecting people to opportunities, markets to consumers, farmers to mandis, and pilgrims to one of the nation’s most sacred cities.
In fulfilling this mandate, we contribute directly to regional prosperity by reducing travel time, enhancing logistics efficiency, and supporting trade and tourism across one of India’s most historically rich and culturally significant regions. Our work strengthens mobility, fuels economic growth, and creates a positive ripple effect that benefits households, businesses, and local economies along the entire stretch.
Above all, we believe that infrastructure must serve people with dignity, safety, and purpose. Every kilometre we build reflects our commitment to nation-building and to creating long-lasting impact beyond the highway.
A Corridor of Culture, Heritage & Timeless Landmarks
The Varanasi–Aurangabad stretch of NH-2 is also home to some of India’s most iconic cultural and historical attractions, making it a gateway for pilgrims, travellers, and history enthusiasts. Key destinations along or near the corridor include:
Kashi Vishwanath Temple: One of the most sacred Shiva temples, drawing devotees from across the world.
Sarnath: A major Buddhist pilgrimage site, where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon.
Ramnagar Fort: An 18th-century fort-palace on the banks of the Ganga, known for its museum and heritage.
Chunar Fort: A historic fort with centuries of military and cultural significance.

Rohtasgarh Fort (nearby) - A UNESCO: recognised heritage site with deep historical roots.

These attractions not only enrich the region’s cultural landscape but also contribute to tourism-driven livelihoods, further underscoring the strategic importance of the corridor.
