Indian multinational Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has announced that its Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) business has secured new orders to enhance grid infrastructure in India and the Middle East.
In India, the PT&D vertical has been awarded contracts to construct 765kV and 400kV transmission lines as part of the integration of a Renewable Energy Zone in Andhra Pradesh.
These high-capacity transmission lines are crucial for the distribution of power generated from renewable sources.
In the Middle East, L&T also secured orders. The PT&D business will execute a series of 220kV and 132kV gas-insulated substations (GISs) on a turnkey basis.
These projects are commissioned by undisclosed transmission asset owners and operators in the region.
The new orders, classified as ‘major’ by the company, range in value from Rs50bn ($584m) to Rs100bn.
