Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is transforming from a traditional engineering and infrastructure company into a technology-driven business group. Its focus is expanding beyond EPC projects into AI, semiconductors, electronics, green hydrogen, battery storage, defense technology, and rare-earth magnets.
The company has secured an AI Factory contract worth around ₹15,000 crore, highlighting its growing presence in the technology sector. L&T is also planning to invest around ₹5,000 crore in its electronics business and is expanding its semiconductor capabilities.
L&T is also building capabilities in green hydrogen, electrolyzer manufacturing, and battery energy storage, while its defense business is working on technologies including drones, radars, strategic electronics, and underwater systems.
The company is further exploring rare-earth permanent magnet manufacturing and has bid under the government’s ₹7,280-crore rare-earth magnet manufacturing scheme.
Despite this diversification, infrastructure and energy remain L&T’s core businesses, accounting for the majority of its order book.
