To meet stringent delivery schedules L&T will deploy its large-wall panel precast construction technology, with building components manufactured in a state-of-the-art precast facility and assembled at the project site. The method will enhance quality, productivity and speed while reducing on-site congestion and schedule risk. The turnkey delivery model consolidates responsibility for engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning. The precast method reduces on-site labour intensity and supports predictable construction cycles.

The Residential, Commercial Buildings and Factories business vertical of L&T draws on extensive domain knowledge and proven expertise in delivering EPC solutions across residential buildings, commercial spaces and factories. The business has executed projects in sectors including automobiles, proving tracks, new energy facilities such as solar panel and battery storage plants, paint and chemical plants, glass plants and food processing units. Experience with complex industrial structures underpins its ability to manage large urban redevelopment programmes.

India Data Centres To Consume 191 TWh By 2040 Driving Renewables

A Wood Mackenzie report says India's operational data centre capacity is projected to increase more than fivefold to 12 gigawatt (GW) by 2030 from 2.2 GW in 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing drive demand. It projects electricity consumption to rise from 10 terawatt-hour (TWh) in 2025 to 191 TWh by 2040. The study forecasts a compound annual growth rate of around 40 per cent and notes AI-dedicated capacity will surge nearly 24-fold from 275 megawatt (MW) in 2025 to 6,546 MW by 2030. The report places India's digital economy at Rs 32 trillion (tn) in 2025 and says it contr..

Hydrogen Train Completes 1,200 Kilometres Of Trials

India's first hydrogen train was flagged off between Jind and Sonipat on July 17 and has travelled over 1,200 kilometres in trials, saving diesel consumption of more than 3,200 litres, a Railway Ministry press release said. The deployment marks the introduction of a zero-emission fuel cell train into route testing and represents a milestone in domestic rail innovation. The train generates electricity onboard through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing electricity to propel the vehicle while emitting only water vapour as a by-product. There is no smoke and no tailpipe car..
