L&T shares rise as co bags Rs 2,500-5,000 crore worth orders
Larsen & Toubro (L&T), a renowned engineering and construction company, witnessed an increase in its share price following the announcement of significant orders won by L&T Construction under its Water & Effluent Treatment business division.
One of the orders entails the construction of a water supply scheme for the Hanumanganj multi-group of villages located in the Ballia and Firozabad districts of Uttar Pradesh, India. This project involves developing and implementing a comprehensive water supply system to cater to the needs of the villages in the mentioned regions.
Additionally, L&T Construction received an order from NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation) under the same Water & Effluent Treatment division. The specifics of the order, such as the scope of work and project details, have not been provided in the information provided.
These orders highlight L&T’s expertise and capabilities in the water and effluent treatment sector. By securing these projects, L&T strengthens its position in this domain and demonstrates its ability to undertake large-scale and significant infrastructure projects.
The large order classification by L&T corresponds to projects valued within the range of Rs 2,500 to 5,000 crore. Following the announcement of these significant orders, the stock price of L&T increased by 0.35 percent, reaching a high of Rs 2,482 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
Regarding the projects in Uttar Pradesh, the scope of work includes several components. This encompasses the design and construction of an intake structure, a water treatment plant with a capacity of 148 million liters per day (MLD), transmission and distribution pipelines spanning 5,534 kilometers, 13 clear water reservoirs with an aggregate capacity of 25 million liters (ML), 504 overhead service reservoirs with a combined capacity of 115.4 ML, 13 pump houses, 3.81 lakh house service connections, and associated electromechanical and instrumentation works. Additionally, the project involves a 10-year operation and maintenance commitment.
These extensive scope elements reflect the comprehensive nature of the water supply scheme to be developed by L&T for the Hanumanganj multi-group of villages in the Ballia and Firozabad districts of Uttar Pradesh. The project aims to provide a reliable and efficient water supply system to cater to the needs of the villages, ensuring adequate access to clean water for the community.
In addition to the aforementioned projects, L&T has also secured a significant order from NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation) for the Make-up Water System and Ash Disposal cum Ash Water Recirculation System (AWRS) Package at Talcher. This order represents a breakthrough for L&T in this specific domain.
The scope of work for this project involves various activities, including design, engineering, supply, construction, erection, testing, and commissioning of the complete make-up water system and ash disposal cum AWRS package. These systems are crucial components of NTPC’s expansion plan for the Talcher Thermal Power Plant.
Indeed, the make-up water system plays a critical role in power plant operations by providing the necessary water supply to compensate for any losses during the power generation process. This system ensures a continuous and reliable water source, helping to maintain optimal functioning of the power plant.
During power generation, certain losses occur due to evaporation, leaks, or other factors, leading to a reduction in the overall water volume. The make-up water system compensates for these losses by supplying additional water to the power plant, ensuring that the required water levels are maintained for efficient operation.
On the other hand, the ash disposal cum AWRS (Ash Water Recirculation System) package is equally important in managing the ash generated during the power generation process. As coal or other fuels are burned in the power plant, ash is produced as a byproduct. Proper management of this ash is crucial for the power plant’s environmental compliance and efficient operation.
The ash disposal cum AWRS package encompasses several activities. Firstly, it involves the collection of ash generated within the power plant. The ash is then transported to designated storage or disposal areas using appropriate methods. Additionally, the package includes the recycling and recirculation of ash water, which is the water used for handling and transporting ash within the power plant.
By recycling the ash water, the power plant can optimize its water usage and minimize water wastage. This sustainable approach contributes to efficient water management within the power plant, reducing the overall environmental impact of ash disposal.
By securing this breakthrough order from NTPC, L&T strengthens its presence in the power plant construction sector and demonstrates its expertise in designing and implementing critical systems for efficient power generation and ash management.
According to L&T, the recent orders secured by the company, including the Make-up Water System and Ash Disposal cum Ash Water Recirculation System (AWRS) Package, showcase its proficiency in executing Industrial Water Projects across various sectors. This highlights L&T’s capabilities and expertise in delivering comprehensive water management solutions to diverse industries, including power, infrastructure, hydrocarbon, and more.
The successful acquisition of these orders reinforces L&T’s position as a trusted player in the field of industrial water projects. By demonstrating its prowess in executing such projects, L&T further solidifies its reputation for delivering efficient and sustainable solutions in the water management domain.
L&T’s ability to provide critical components like the make-up water system, which ensures continuous and reliable water supply for efficient power plant operations, exemplifies the company’s commitment to supporting essential infrastructure needs. Additionally, the ash disposal cum AWRS package emphasizes L&T’s dedication to offering comprehensive and sustainable solutions for managing ash generated during power generation processes.
These accomplishments underline L&T’s diverse capabilities and its commitment to addressing the evolving requirements of different industries, contributing to the overall growth and development of the sectors it serves.
