L&T Secures Major EPC Orders for Power Grid Infrastructure in India and Middle East

The Power Transmission and Distribution (PT&D) vertical of L&T has secured a batch of EPC orders to establish electricity grid system elements in India and abroad. 

In India, PT&D has received orders for design, supply and construction of two 220 kV Gas Insulated Substations in the Durgapur–Raniganj–Asansol industrial belt of West Bengal. The scope also includes associated transmission line segments with advanced conductors and multi-circuit towers. These grid modernisation jobs will provide a stable voltage profile and enhance reliability of power networks for infrastructure and industrial projects in the region. 

In the Middle East, PT&D has won orders from key utilities for the turnkey construction of five substations and over 250 KM transmission lines. Located in three different countries in the region, these projects are up to 500 kV level. In one of the projects, the scope also involves supplying and installing a 400 kV underground cable system. 

In view of surging demand, shifting nature of energy mix and security driven initiatives, grid investments have become high-stake, high-tech priority areas for economic forerunners.
