L&T wins more than Rs 7,000 crore order for building power plant in Bihar

The new project will help improve L&T's capacity utilisation, but the company's orders from the private sector continue to remain muted.

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) said on Monday it has won a project for constructing a power plant in Bihar. The project is estimated to be worth more than Rs 7000 crore.

“The power business of Larsen & Toubro has bagged a mega EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) order from SJVN Thermal Private to set up a 2x660 MW ultra-supercritical power plant in Buxar district, Bihar,” the company said in a statement to the exchanges.

SJVN Thermal is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SJVN, a joint venture of the central and Himachal Pradesh governments. The exact value of the order is unknown
