The stock is up by 40.60 per cent from its 52-week low and has given multibagger returns of over 225 per cent in the last 5 years.
Larsen & Toubro’s Minerals & Metals (M&M) business has secured major engineering, procurement, and Construction (EPC) orders valued between Rs 5,000 crore and Rs 10,000 crore, primarily driven by a strengthened partnership with the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL). A central component of these awards involves the massive expansion of the IISCO Steel Plant in Burnpur, West Bengal, where SAIL aims to increase crude steel capacity from 2.5 MTPA to 6.5 MTPA. L&T will deliver critical infrastructure for this project, including the Coke Oven Battery, By-Product Plant, and Basic Oxygen Furnace, which serve as the foundational elements of the new steel complex.
Beyond the Burnpur expansion, L&T has been commissioned to establish Sinter Plant #2 at the Bokaro Steel Plant in Jharkhand as part of a significant upstream modernisation effort. The M&M vertical also secured several domestic orders for specialised material handling equipment, such as Stacker Reclaimers and Wagon Tipplers, from various industrial clients. These projects underscore L&T's technical expertise in executing complex metallurgical developments and its ongoing role in scaling India's domestic steel manufacturing capacity through advanced, large-scale industrial solutions.
