India's top engineering and construction conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has announced that one of its key subsidiaries - Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) - has secured large power infrastructure orders - valued in the range of Rs25 billion to Rs50 billion ($301 million to $602 million) - from its prime GCC markets.

 

Unveiling the details, L&T said its key PT&D Business has bagged an order from Saudi Arabia for turnkey construction of a 380kV substation with associated overhead transmission lines in addition to a major order from Kuwait for construction of 5 substations to provide reliable and efficient power supply to an upcoming residential city.

 

Additional orders have been won in ongoing substation orders in Qatar, said L&T in its statement.

 

In a significant breakthrough, L&T said its unit has snapped up an order in Malaysia, in a consortium, to establish a 275kV underground cable system to double the power transmission capacity in the existing network.

 

The PT&D unit has also clinched similar orders in India at Chhattisgarh, where it will establish 400kV and 220kV transmission lines to help relieve the congestion in the state’s electricity transmission grid.
