Larsen & Toubro Limited announced on August 4, 2025, that its Renewables business vertical has secured a significant order to develop a grid-connected 116 MWac Solar Photovoltaic (PV) plant integrated with a 241 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This substantial project is located at Kajra, Lakhisarai district in Bihar.
This engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) order represents an extension of an earlier phase of the project. With this addition, the total co-located storage capacity of the renewable generation site at Lakhisarai will reach 495 MWh, marking it as the largest such project awarded by a state utility in India. The deployment of a 4-hour BESS alongside intermittent solar generation is designed to enable energy time-shifting, allowing surplus clean energy to be stored and then dispatched during peak demand periods. The advanced BESS solution will incorporate liquid cooling technology, which is expected to ensure higher power density, improved safety, and extended operational life.
This initiative aligns directly with the Government of India’s policy push for co-located renewable energy storage systems. It also supports Bihar's Jal-Jeevan-Hariyali Abhiyan (water, life, and greenery mission), while concurrently contributing to employment generation and bolstering long-term energy security within the state. Earlier, the Renewables business vertical had also secured an EPC order for a 275 MW Solar PV project in Gujarat, further strengthening its portfolio of flexible, efficient, and cost-effective clean energy systems. As per L&T's project classification, a "Significant" order falls within the value range of Rs 1,000 crore to Rs 2,500 crore
