Larsen and Toubro Ltd. said its Minerals and Metals business has secured major orders from Steel Authority of India Ltd. and other customers for EPC projects and equipment in the domestic metals sector.

As part of SAIL’s modernisation and expansion programme, L&T will execute key packages at the IISCO Steel Plant in Burnpur, West Bengal. The project will support the expansion of crude steel capacity to 6.5 million tonnes per annum from 2.5 million tonnes per annum.

L&T’s scope includes engineering, procurement and installation of critical process plants such as the coke oven battery, by-product plant, basic oxygen furnace, and specialised material handling systems forming the core of the new steel complex.
At SAIL’s Bokaro Steel Plant in Jharkhand, L&T has also secured an order to set up Sinter Plant No. 2 as part of a major upstream capacity expansion.

In addition, the minerals and metals business has won multiple orders for specialised material handling equipment, including stacker reclaimers and wagon tipplers, from clients across India.

D K Sen, adviser to the chairman and managing director for development projects and minerals and metals at L&T, said the orders highlight the company’s long-standing association with SAIL and its role in supporting India’s steel manufacturing ecosystem through large-scale metallurgical infrastructure.

T Kumaresan, senior vice president and head of the minerals and metals business at L&T, said the wins reflect customer confidence in the company’s ability to deliver complex, technology-intensive projects within tight timelines and demonstrate its end-to-end execution capabilities across the value chain.
