It took a short span of 42 months to build this statue. There were around 2500 workers working every day on site. The total amount of raw material used to build the statue:-
1. Reinforcement steel- 18000 metric tonnes
2. Bronze plates- 22000 square meters
3. Concrete- 200000 cubic meters
4. Structural steel- 6000 metric tonnes
