L&T's Power Transmission Business Secures Multiple Orders in India and Overseas

Larsen & Toubro (L&T), a leading engineering and construction conglomerate, announced on Wednesday that its Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) business has secured several significant orders, both in India and overseas.

In India, the business has been awarded contracts to set up two floating solar plants. Unlike traditional ground-mounted solar projects, floating solar plants involve mounting solar modules on structures that float on water bodies, such as reservoirs or lakes. This approach eliminates the need for land acquisition and generally requires less civil work. In addition to these benefits, floating solar plants can reduce water evaporation and have other site-specific advantages.

L&T's PT&D vertical has also received orders to set up transmission lines and a gas-insulated substation to integrate solar energy zones in Rajasthan and Karnataka. These critical infrastructure projects will help in the evacuation and distribution of renewable energy to various load centers across India.

The company has further secured an order to build a gas-insulated substation overseas, specifically in the Sultanate of Oman. Oman is in the process of integrating its multiple standalone electricity networks into a 400 kV national grid. As part of this interconnection and grid-strengthening initiative, L&T has been tasked with building a 400 kV overhead transmission line and two 400 kV grid stations.

In the United Arab Emirates, L&T has also bagged orders to construct two substations with associated works. These projects reinforce the company's growing presence in the Middle East and its commitment to providing comprehensive engineering solutions.

Larsen & Toubro, a $23 billion Indian multinational, specializes in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects, along with high-tech manufacturing and services. These new orders in India and overseas underscore the company's leading role in power transmission and distribution, as well as its capacity to deliver complex engineering projects on a global scale.
