L&T mulls power, manufacturing plants in Gujarat

05 Feb 2013 CW Team

Leading engineering and construction firm Larsen and Toubro plans to set up power and manufacturing plants at Hazira and Vadodara in Gujarat.

The company expects Vadodara to be one of the largest core-engineering hubs in India by 2020. Vadodara is home to global engineering giants like ABB, Alstom, Bombardier, and Siemens. Besides, the easy availability of human resource, road and rail connectivity and proximity to Mumbai makes it an ideal destination.

According to media reports, the company is shifting base out of Mumbai to Gujarat as it is not satisfied with the transport infrastructure in the country's financial hub.

The firm reportedly faces difficulty in shipping out large fabricated items to the docks or out of Mumbai.

Meanwhile, it is learnt that Gujarat is in the forefront in building excellent urban infrastructure. The state government has pioneered majority of models like self-financing of a road project or intelligent traffic system for safe public transport.
