Larsen & Toubro (L&T), a name synonymous with infrastructure and construction excellence in India, has once again demonstrated its engineering might. On May 13, 2025, the Buildings & Factories (B&F) vertical of L&T announced the acquisition of large-scale government contracts from both central and state authorities, reinforcing its leadership position in India’s public infrastructure development.

EPC Contract for Central Secretariat Buildings in New Delhi

A highlight among the new orders is a prestigious Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract awarded by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD). L&T has been tasked with constructing Common Central Secretariat Buildings 6 and 7 in New Delhi, a key development in the government’s vision to modernize administrative infrastructure in the national capital.

The scope of this project includes:

• Construction of two expansive buildings, each comprising 1 basement + 2 podiums + upper ground + 6 floors

• Complete civil structure development

• Interior and exterior finishing works

• Associated Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP) services

• External site development

• Operation and maintenance (O&M) services for a period of five years

This project is part of a broader initiative aimed at streamlining and centralizing administrative offices under one complex, improving inter-departmental coordination and delivering modern workspace environments.

Design & Construction Order for Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly

Adding to this, L&T has also been awarded a significant design and construction order by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. The contract pertains to the building of the new State Legislative Assembly, an architectural and civic milestone for the state.

Project specifics include:

• A modern Legislative Assembly building with a configuration of one basement + ground + three floors

• End-to-end responsibility for design, planning, civil construction, and delivery

This structure is expected to reflect Andhra Pradesh’s aspirations for efficient governance, combining architectural finesse with sustainable construction practices.

Strict Completion Timeline of 18 Months

What sets both of these projects apart is the aggressive execution timeline. L&T has been entrusted to complete both projects within a stringent window of 18 months, underscoring the client’s urgency and L&T’s capability to deliver complex infrastructure on a tight schedule.

This challenge calls for:

• Meticulous project planning

• Simultaneous multi-team deployment

• Use of modern construction technologies like precast and modular structures

• Efficient coordination with government stakeholders

Boost to Infrastructure Sector and L&T's Portfolio

These projects not only represent significant revenue for L&T but also boost India’s infrastructure narrative. With governments across the nation pushing for modern, integrated civic and administrative structures, companies like L&T continue to play a pivotal role.

Furthermore, this development comes amid rising investor interest in infrastructure stocks, particularly those with exposure to government contracts and execution capabilities in urban transformation.

L&T’s B&F vertical has already delivered multiple landmark government projects including:

• AIIMS campuses across states

• Smart city mission developments

• State secretariats and judiciary complexes

These new orders strengthen its public sector portfolio, enhancing future bidding competitiveness.

Strategic Importance of Projects

The Central Secretariat buildings are part of India’s larger Central Vista redevelopment mission, which involves reshaping the core administrative region of New Delhi. Being a part of this initiative positions L&T among a select group of contractors trusted for national priority projects.

Similarly, the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly is not just a building but a symbolic representation of governance and progress. Its execution by L&T places it at the center of political and developmental transformation in the state.

Conclusion

With these large orders, L&T’s Buildings & Factories vertical continues to expand its reach and reputation. These projects not only demonstrate its technical capabilities and timely delivery track record but also reaffirm L&T’s critical role in nation-building initiatives.

As India marches toward building smart, efficient, and centralized government infrastructure, L&T remains at the forefront, contributing with engineering expertise, innovative technologies, and strategic execution.
