Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured an ultra-mega contract from Adani Power to construct eight thermal power units, each with a capacity of 800 MW. In L&T terms, ultra-mega contracts are valued at over Rs 150 billion. The project will be executed by L&T Energy–CarbonLite Solutions (LTECLS), the company’s specialist vertical for advanced power and low-carbon technologies.

The scope of work covers the complete design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, and commissioning of boiler–turbine–generator packages, along with auxiliaries and associated mechanical, electrical, and control and instrumentation systems.

“In today’s dynamic energy landscape, where India’s demand for reliable and affordable power continues to grow, this order from the Adani Group reinforces our role as a leading partner in building the country’s critical energy infrastructure,” said Subramanian Sarma, deputy managing director and president of L&T.

L&T expects total order prospects worth Rs 15 trillion by 31 March 2026, with 60 per cent anticipated from international markets and the rest from domestic sources. Of this, about Rs 8 trillion is from infrastructure, Rs 6 trillion from hydrocarbons, and Rs 1 trillion from carbonlite projects.

The announcement follows Adani Power’s recent receipt of a letter of intent from Bihar State Power Generation Company to develop and supply 2,274 MW of electricity to the state from a proposed 2,400 MW thermal project in Bhagalpur district. Adani Power is targeting organic capacity additions of 12,520 MW by March 2030, according to its latest investor presentation.
