Larsen & Toubro announces $437mn of projects in India and Oman

Indian engineering and construction giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has revealed a healthy project pipeline which has been boosted by work won in Oman and its home country.

Totalling $437mn, the contract in the Oman involves mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, structural work and architectural finishing. The buildings in question are related to the Middle Eastern country’s tourism sector.

In India, L&T has won a contract from the governing authorities in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh to build a new government office building in what will become the tallest such build in the country.
