Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T) has announced that its Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) business has secured a series of significant grid infrastructure orders in the Middle East, valued between ₹2,500 crore and ₹5,000 crore.
These contracts encompass projects in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, underscoring L&T’s expanding footprint in the region’s energy sector.
One of the notable projects involves the construction of a 400kV substation in the UAE, which is part of the ongoing 400kV super grid interconnection linking the electricity networks of GCC member states.
This initiative aims to establish a direct 400kV link between Oman and the rest of the GCC grid, thereby enhancing regional energy security and enabling more efficient use of generation capacity.
In Saudi Arabia, L&T has been awarded contracts for the turnkey construction of 380kV overhead transmission lines.
These lines are integral to integrating renewable energy power plants into the national grid, aligning with the country’s vision to diversify its energy sources and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Additionally, L&T’s PT&D business has secured orders for a series of new 132kV substations across the Middle East to support the rising electricity demand in the region.
These substations are expected to bolster the existing infrastructure and ensure a stable power supply to meet the growing needs of urban and industrial areas.
L&T classifies contracts in the ₹2,500 crore to ₹5,000 crore range as ‘large’ orders.
The company’s strategic focus on the Middle East aligns with the region’s significant investments in infrastructure development and renewable energy projects.
These new orders not only reinforce L&T’s position as a key player in the global EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) space but also contribute to the ongoing energy transition efforts in the Middle East.
The company’s robust execution capabilities and technological expertise in power transmission and distribution have been pivotal in securing these contracts.
L&T continues to leverage its experience in delivering complex infrastructure projects to meet the evolving energy demands of its international clients.
These developments reflect L&T’s commitment to expanding its global presence and contributing to the development of sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure worldwide.
The successful execution of these projects is expected to further enhance L&T’s reputation in the international market and open avenues for future opportunities in the Middle East and beyond.
