Larsen & Toubro Secures Dual Large-Scale Infrastructure Orders

Larsen & Toubro has secured two orders classified as 'Large'—each valued between Rs 2,500 crore and Rs 5,000 crore—totaling up to Rs 10,000 crore.

Reader Takeaway: These government infrastructure wins bolster the order book and offer long-term revenue through added operation and maintenance contracts.

What just happened

L&T’s Public Spaces, Airports & Health (PAH) vertical has been awarded two significant infrastructure mandates. The first, from the Central Public Works Department, involves constructing Common Central Secretariat buildings 4 and 5 in New Delhi. The second, awarded by the Government of Andhra Pradesh, entails the construction of two 47-floor office towers in Amaravati.

Project Specifications

The New Delhi contract covers a 32.8 lakh sq. ft. area with a 24-month timeline, including structural and MEP works on an EPC basis, plus a five-year operation and maintenance mandate. The Amaravati project is a 37.5 lakh sq. ft. 'Design & Build' project for two towers flanking the Quantum Computing Centre, scheduled for completion within 30 months.

Why this matters

These wins demonstrate L&T's capacity to maintain a steady stream of large government infrastructure contracts. For investors, the inclusion of a five-year maintenance clause in the Delhi contract provides a recurring revenue component, moving beyond simple construction margins.

Risks to watch

As with all large-scale infrastructure projects, timelines are subject to regulatory approvals, land readiness, and potential escalation in material costs, which could impact the execution margins over the 24 to 30-month construction windows.

What to track next

The market will look for the impact of these orders on L&T’s consolidated order book in the upcoming quarterly results and monitor the progress of these high-profile public sector projects.
