Larsen & Toubro bags orders to build 270 MW of Indian PV parks

India-based engineering conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (BOM:500510), L&T, has secured orders to build floating and ground-mounted solar parks with a combined capacity of over 270 MW.

The deals were awarded to the company’s Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) business, according to a bourse filing on Wednesday.

An unnamed party has contracted the L&T unit to install two floating photovoltaic (PV) parks in India, which will collectively add over 150 MW of power generation capacity. The projects, the location of which was not specified, were awarded after L&T won contracts to install two floating solar parks in the state of Jharkhand.

Separately, PT&D will build a ground-mounted solar park of 120 MW. Details about the project and its owner were also kept under wraps.

The PT&D business has also been selected to install 765-kV transmission lines and a substation that will help interconnect solar farms in the states of Rajasthan and Karnataka. Orders have been also received for the construction of a substation in Kuwait, overhead transmission lines in Oman and substations in the UAE.
