13 Oct 2025 CW Team

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has announced the acquisition of a major international contract valued at over Rs 150 billion to develop a Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) facility in the Middle East. The project involves comprehensive responsibilities, including the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning of the processing plant along with supporting utilities and off-site infrastructure.

The NGL facility will handle rich associated gas sourced from both offshore and onshore fields. It will be equipped to remove elements such as hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, and water to produce lean gas and other key derivatives including ethane, propane, butane, and condensates.

The order has been awarded to a consortium of L&T and Consolidated Contractors Group (CCC), headquartered in Greece. Within this collaboration, L&T will oversee engineering and procurement, while CCC will manage the construction aspects of the project.

S. N. Subrahmanyan, Chairman and Managing Director of L&T, noted that the project reinforces the company’s expertise in executing large-scale energy and hydrocarbon infrastructure globally. Deputy Managing Director and President Subramanian Sarma highlighted that the project would require complex interface management and advanced engineering, particularly in a brownfield setting.

With this development, L&T further strengthens its global footprint and reaffirms its reputation as a leading engineering, procurement, and construction company in the hydrocarbon sector.
