L&T to build India's first tower on pre-cast basis

Diversified conglomerate Larsen and Toubro (L&T) is set to build India's first residential high-rise building on a pre-cast basis, a move that may introduce a structural change in the real estate market.

This is the first time a 'ground +23 floor' high-rise residential structure is being built on a pre-fabricated basis in the country. Though there have been ground +3 level structures and office buildings, no one has attempted a high-rise residential project because it is very complex to build a structure with so many elements (wall, windows, balcony, girders and beams)

The contract has been awarded by Mumbai-based Omkar realtors, which is developing six towers on the Bhoiwada site at Parel
