Over the last four decades, Larsen & Toubro, the Indian multinational conglomerate, has established their credentials in the Gulf region, developing vital infrastructure in various countries including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar. L&T has lent their expertise to constructing power & water infrastructure, high-rise buildings, stadiums, airports, hospitals, transportation infrastructure and executing projects in the hydrocarbon space. Apart from playing a crucial role in the NEOM project, L&T is rapidly making their presence felt in the Renewables space with the execution of key projects in the region.

 


With their enviable track record and several key projects under execution, L&T made a significant mark at the Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) and the Dubai Solar Show 2023, that was held at the Dubai Trade Center starting, November 15th – 17th 2023. 

 


“Over the last few years, our focus on international business has sharpened that is reflected in the fact that over 30% of our total turnover comes from international markets, especially from across the Gulf Region,” shared Mr. T. Madhava Das, Whole-Time Director and Senior Executive Vice President (Utilities), Larsen & Toubro. “We are delighted that we are playing a significant role in the huge wave of development that is going on in across the Middle East, led by Saudi Arabia, and with our expertise and experience built over decades, we are well placed and well-equipped to continue making a difference. WETEX always has an ideal platform for us to showcase our capabilities and it was no different this year,” he added.
