Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured a new order in Saudi Arabia for the extension of the Riyadh Metro, valued in the range of Rs 50–100 billion, reinforcing its footprint in large-scale international infrastructure projects.

The contract has been awarded to L&T’s Heavy Civil Infrastructure business vertical by the Royal Commission of Riyadh City. The order forms part of an ultra-mega project being executed by a global consortium comprising Webuild S.p.A, L&T, Nesma & Partners Contracting, Alstom and IDOM.

The project involves the expansion of the Red Line of the Riyadh Metro network, one of the city’s most critical mass rapid transit corridors. As part of the contract, L&T will undertake the design and turnkey construction of an 8.4-kilometre metro corridor featuring both elevated and underground sections.

The scope of work also includes the construction of five metro stations along the Red Line extension, contributing to enhanced urban mobility and connectivity in Riyadh.

Earlier this month, on January 16, L&T had announced another large order valued between Rs 25–50 billion for its hydrocarbon onshore business. The contract was awarded by Petronet LNG, a joint venture promoted by Oil & Natural Gas Corporation, Indian Oil Corporation, GAIL (India) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation.

The latest Riyadh Metro order highlights L&T’s growing role in global infrastructure development and its ability to execute complex urban transit projects across international markets.
