L&T Construction, Larsen & Toubro’s (L&T) construction subsidiary, has secured a contract from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for the first phase of Patna MRTS in India.

The company’s Heavy Civil Infrastructure Business has been awarded the contract to design and build an underground metro of the first phase.
