The Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) vertical of Larsen & Toubro has won new orders valued between INR 10,000 to INR 15,0000 Crore. In the Middle East, L&T has bagged the order for expanding and strengthening the electricity grids at high voltage levels. The different operating regions in Saudi Arabia’s national electricity network are being interconnected through High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links that enable exchange of power between regions and enhanced system resilience. L&T has secured orders to establish ±500kV HVDC Transmission Links associated with these interconnections. L&T has also won orders for three more packages involving two 380kV overhead transmission lines and a bulk supply 380kV Gas Insulated Substation. These elements contribute significantly to the renewable generation interconnection and fortification of the grid.
