January 2026 : Larsen & Toubro (L&T), the Indian multinational engineering and manufacturing powerhouse, has kicked off the new year by announcing a series of "Major" order wins within its Minerals & Metals (M&M) business vertical. The contracts, primarily from the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), reinforce L&T’s dominance in the domestic metals sector and its role in bolstering India’s industrial self-reliance.
A cornerstone of this announcement is SAIL’s ambitious modernization and expansion program. At the IISCO Steel Plant in Burnpur, West Bengal, SAIL aims to more than double its crude steel capacity from 2.5 MTPA to 6.5 MTPA. L&T has been entrusted with the comprehensive Engineering, Procurement, and Installation (EPC) package for the facility’s core process plants. This includes the Coke Oven Battery, By-Product Plant, Basic Oxygen Furnace, and specialized material handling equipment.
Simultaneously, L&T will spearhead the establishment of Sinter Plant #2 at the Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) in Jharkhand, further solidifying its presence in the region's upstream steel production.
Commenting on the strategic partnership, D K Sen, Advisor to CMD, Development Projects & Minerals & Metals, L&T, said: “L&T has been a major contributor to India’s industrial growth story in the metals sector, and our association with SAIL is a proud chapter in our journey. These orders underscore L&T’s ability to deliver world-class metallurgical infrastructure with engineering precision, safety and sustainability at the core. We are privileged to contribute to SAIL’s expansion vision, which is vital to strengthening India’s self-reliance in steel production.”
T Kumaresan, Senior Vice President & Head - Minerals & Metals, L&T, highlighted the technical rigor of the projects: “The trust placed in L&T by SAIL once again validates our expertise in delivering complex, technology-intensive projects under challenging schedules. These wins reaffirm our commitment to delivering projects on time, demonstrate our technical capabilities and adherence to project timelines. This also brings out our capabilities in end-to-end execution of complex process packages.”
Beyond SAIL, the M&M business has secured various orders for specialized equipment like Stacker Reclaimers and Wagon Tipplers from clients nationwide, showcasing its versatile end-to-end capabilities in the minerals value chain.
