Larsen & Toubro's power transmission and distribution vertical has won new domestic and international contracts. In India, it will handle the transmission for a Renewable Energy Zone in Uttar Pradesh and a non-fossil fuel-based power plant in the south. International orders include a Gas Insulated Substation in Saudi Arabia and a new grid station in Abu Dhabi.
Infrastructure major Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Monday said its power transmission and distribution vertical has secured new orders in the domestic market and overseas.
In India, the company has received an order to implement transmission line segments for a Renewable Energy Zone in Uttar Pradesh.
Prior to this, L&T's business secured an order for turnkey construction of a transmission line, meant for evacuation of power from a non-fossil fuel-based power plant in the southern region, the company said in a statement.
In Saudi Arabia, the company bagged an order for a Gas Insulated Substation (GIS). In Abu Dhabi, the business has received an order for setting up a new grid station, along with associated jobs.
Larsen & Toubro is a USD 27 billion Indian multinational enterprise engaged in operating across multiple geographies.
The Cabinet has approved a Rs 7,145.14 crore, 117.7-km access-controlled greenfield highway between Kanpur and Kabrai on NH-34 in Uttar Pradesh. The BOT toll project is designed to cut travel time from 3.5 hours to 1.5 hours, strengthen links to the Kabrai mining belt and Bundelkhand corridor, and lower logistics friction for freight, construction material and agricultural movement.
NHAI has launched Multi-Lane Free Flow tolling at Manoharpura Toll Plaza on the Delhi-Jaipur section of NH-48 in Rajasthan. The barrier-free FASTag and ANPR system matters because it cuts toll-stop idling on a busy highway corridor, but users now need proper FASTag balance and must clear any e-notice within 72 hours to avoid double charges.
India has reset windfall-linked export duties from July 1, 2026 by raising the levy on petrol exports to Rs 4 per litre while cutting diesel and aviation turbine fuel export duties to Rs 8.50 and Rs 7.50 per litre respectively. The move matters because it changes refining economics, export incentives and the downstream pressure points that can eventually shape domestic fuel availability, airline costs and broader transport pricing.
State-run oil companies cut the 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder price by Rs 183.50 from July 1, 2026 and reduced aviation turbine fuel by Rs 5 per litre to about Rs 110 in Delhi. The move offers relief to restaurants, hotels and airlines, but household LPG, petrol and diesel users are still waiting.
