Engineering and construction giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T) announced on Wednesday (17 September) that its Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) business has won 'large' orders in India and overseas, aimed at strengthening power grid infrastructure and resilience.
Though the company has not revealed the exact value of the orders, the contracts fall under 'large' category that range between Rs 2,500 crore to Rs 5,000 crore.
The contracts include Distribution SCADA systems and Dynamic Reactive Power Compensation devices (STATCOMs), both critical for improving reliability, automation, and power quality across energy networks.
In India, L&T will revamp power distribution in two towns using SCADA and smart technology integration. The project also involves upgrading distribution transformer stations and replacing overhead electrical lines with underground cabling.
UAE: L&T will design, deliver, and construct two ±300 MVAr STATCOM systems at 400 kV substations. These systems provide real-time reactive power compensation, stabilising voltage and improving grid performance.
L&T said these projects underscore its commitment to building future-ready grid systems that support global energy transition and sustainability goals.
L&T is a $30 billion Indian multinational engaged in EPC Projects, hi-tech manufacturing, and services, operating across multiple geographies.
