L&T Secures Over ₹15,000 Crore Middle East Sour-Gas Contract
Larsen & Toubro has won a very large project in the Middle East.
The project is worth more than ₹15,000 crore.
It will build facilities that compress and process sour gas.
Sour gas needs special equipment to handle it safely.
The work will also include systems for water, condensate, cooling, and other utilities.
Another L&T business will build two large substations to provide electricity.
L&T said the project will increase gas-compression capacity and supporting infrastructure.
The company did not name the customer or give the exact contract value.
Larsen & Toubro secured an ultra-mega EPC contract worth more than ₹15,000 crore for a Middle East gas-compression project.
L&T Energy Hydrocarbon Onshore will execute the project, which was awarded through a letter of award issued in FY26.
The project includes new onshore facilities for sour-gas inlet, compression, condensate and produced-water handling, propane refrigeration, and related utilities.
L&T’s Power Transmission & Distribution business will build two 230 kV extra-high-voltage substations for the compression facilities.
L&T did not disclose the exact contract value or client; its shares rose 0.44% to ₹4,106.40 after the announcement.
