Engineering and infrastructure giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured its largest-ever order in the domestic metals sector from JSW Steel, further strengthening the long-standing partnership between the two companies.
L&T said the order has been classified as a “major” contract, which typically falls in the range of Rs 10,000 crore to Rs 15,000 crore. The project has been awarded to the company’s Minerals & Metals (M&M) business vertical and marks a significant milestone in its industrial project portfolio.
The latest order comes as JSW Steel pushes ahead with its ambitious expansion strategy to increase crude steel processing capacity from 35 MTPA (million tonnes per annum) to over 50 MTPA by 2031. As part of this expansion roadmap, L&T has been entrusted with engineering, procurement, and installation of critical process facilities, including Blast Furnaces and Steel Melt Shops.
The projects will be executed across multiple brownfield and greenfield expansion sites, mainly at JSW Steel’s facilities in Ballari, Karnataka, and Paradip, Odisha. The order is expected to play an important role in enhancing India’s steel production capacity and supporting the country’s infrastructure growth plans.
L&T and JSW Steel share a partnership spanning more than three decades, during which both companies have collaborated on several complex metallurgical and industrial projects. Their association has contributed significantly to the development of large-scale steel infrastructure in India.
Commenting on the development, D K Sen, Advisor to CMD, Development Projects & Minerals & Metals at L&T, said securing the largest-ever order in the metals segment marks a defining moment for the company’s Minerals & Metals business. He added that the partnership with JSW Steel reflects a shared commitment towards scale, innovation, and nation-building.
He further stated that the order not only highlights L&T’s engineering and execution capabilities but also reinforces the trust placed in the company to deliver projects of national importance. According to him, as India moves towards becoming a global steel manufacturing powerhouse, L&T remains focused on setting new benchmarks in project delivery, sustainability, and technological excellence.
The major order win is likely to keep L&T shares in focus as investors monitor the company’s robust order inflow and expanding presence in the industrial and infrastructure sectors.
