L&T bags Rs 10,000-15,000 crore mega order for Ballari and Paradip expansion works

Infrastructure major Larsen & Toubro on Wednesday said it has secured a ‘mega’ order worth between Rs 10,000 crore and Rs 15,000 crore from JSW Steel.

The company said the order has been awarded to its Minerals & Metals business vertical and is its largest-ever order in the domestic metals sector.

As part of its strategic growth roadmap, JSW Steel is moving ahead with plans to expand its crude steel processing capacity from 35 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to more than 50 MTPA by 2031.

In line with this expansion plan, L&T has been entrusted with the engineering, procurement and installation of critical process facilities, including blast furnaces and steel melt shops, across multiple brownfield and greenfield expansion projects, mainly at JSW Steel sites in Ballari, Karnataka, and Paradip, Odisha.

“The minerals and metals business vertical of L&T has secured its largest-ever order in the domestic metals sector – awarded by JSW Steel,” the company said in a filing to BSE.

L&T said the two companies share a partnership spanning more than three decades in executing metallurgical projects.

Commenting on the development, D K Sen, Advisor to CMD, Development Projects & Minerals & Metals, L&T, said: “Securing the largest-ever order in the metals segment marks a defining moment for L&T’s Minerals & Metals business. Our long-standing partnership with JSW Steel reflects a shared commitment to scale, innovation and nation-building.
