The infrastructure major did not disclose the financial details of the projects. However, according to its classification, significant orders have a value in the range of Rs 1,000–2,000 crore.
The power transmission and distribution business of Larsen & Toubro Construction has recently secured EPC orders in India and overseas, the firm said in a statement.
"The business has secured orders to develop distribution infrastructure in two distribution circles in western Rajasthan. It also bagged a power supply system order for the second phase of the Chennai Metro. In the overseas market, the business won an order to supply, construct, test, and commission a 132 kV substation in the UAE," it said.
Under the umbrella of the Reforms-based Results-Linked Distribution Sector Scheme, distribution utilities in the country have taken up various modernization measures to improve operational efficiency and financial sustainability.
Significantly reducing the aggregate technical and commercial losses at the pan-India level is an important objective of the scheme, towards which the discoms undertake several distribution infrastructure improvements like segregating feeders, reconductoring, cabling, augmenting line networks and elements, geo-tagging assets, etc.
