L&T bags large order These new projects cover both India and international markets, showing the company’s strong presence in power grid infrastructure. The orders include high-voltage transmission lines in Andhra Pradesh, modern substations in the Middle East, advanced STATCOM systems in the UAE, and grid projects in Oman.
I have been following power sector updates for years, and as an engineer myself, I can say these types of projects are very important for renewable energy growth and stable electricity supply in our country. L&T’s achievement proves how Indian companies are leading not only at home but also in global markets.

About the L&T bags large order in the range of ₹2,500–5,000 cr for Power
Larsen & Toubro (L&T), India’s leading engineering and construction company, announced that its Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) business has won large contracts worth ₹2,500–5,000 crore. The company defines “large orders” in this range, and these wins together show the strength of its order pipeline.
The projects are spread across India and abroad, mainly focusing on transmission lines, substations, and power grid stability systems.
Key projects under the new orders
Here are the main projects included in this big achievement:
- India (Andhra Pradesh)
- 765 kV and 400 kV transmission lines to evacuate power from a Renewable Energy Zone.
- These high-voltage lines will carry green power (solar and wind) from remote areas to cities.
- United Arab Emirates (UAE)
- Two ±300 MVAr STATCOM systems at 400 kV substations.
- These systems will improve voltage stability and balance renewable energy in the grid.
- Oman
- 400/132 kV grid station with a connected 400 kV transmission line.
- This will help Oman expand its power transmission capacity.
- Other Middle East countries
- 220 kV and 132 kV Gas Insulated Substations (GIS).
- Compact substations widely used in cities where space is limited.
Together, these projects highlight L&T’s capability to deliver large and complex power infrastructure.

Why these projects are important
1. Renewable energy integration
India has a big target for renewable energy. High-voltage lines in Andhra Pradesh will carry solar and wind energy to demand centres. Without such lines, renewable plants cannot operate at full capacity.
2. Grid stability
STATCOM systems in the UAE will control voltage and reactive power. When renewable energy comes into the grid, stability often becomes an issue. STATCOM is like a shock absorber that balances sudden changes.
3. Global footprint
By winning projects in Oman and other GCC countries, L&T strengthens its position as a trusted international EPC player. These regions are investing heavily in modern power networks.
4. Financial visibility
Orders worth ₹2,500–5,000 crore give the company strong revenue visibility for the coming years. For investors, this is a positive sign of future growth.
Simple explanation of key terms
- 765 kV / 400 kV lines: Extra high-voltage lines that carry bulk power over long distances.
- STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator): A device that quickly stabilises grid voltage.
- Gas Insulated Substation (GIS): A modern substation type that saves space and works better in harsh weather.
Benefits of L&T’s order win
- Strengthens India’s renewable energy journey.
- Improves electricity reliability in the Middle East.
- Brings advanced technology like STATCOM into mainstream use.
- Expands L&T’s presence in global markets.
- Provides jobs and skill development opportunities.
L&T’s strong position in Power Transmission & Distribution
L&T’s PT&D business is one of the largest in India. Over the years, it has executed projects in more than 30 countries. The company works in every area of the electricity grid — from generation evacuation to distribution automation.
This new order win again shows why L&T is seen as a leader in power transmission and infrastructure.
Impact on the Indian power sector
The Andhra Pradesh project is especially important for India. Renewable Energy Zones (REZ) need strong evacuation systems. Without 765 kV lines, the renewable power generated cannot reach cities. With these projects, India will move closer to its clean energy targets.
Impact on global energy markets
The Middle East has been modernising its power grids rapidly. Countries like the UAE and Oman need stable, modern, and compact solutions. L&T’s GIS and STATCOM projects directly meet those needs, giving the company more global recognition.
Conclusion
L&T bags large order in the range of ₹2,500–5,000 cr for Power Transmission & Distribution projects across India and abroad. From 765 kV lines in Andhra Pradesh to STATCOM systems in the UAE and grid stations in Oman, these wins show the company’s capability in handling complex grid projects. For India, it means better renewable energy integration. For the Middle East, it means stronger and more stable power networks. For L&T, it is a big step that strengthens both domestic leadership and international presence.
