Larsen & Toubro (L&T) , India's top construction and engineering company, is seeing early signs of a government push on infrastructure spending, Chief Financial Officer R Shankar Raman said on Thursday.

Big ticket energy and infrastructure projects in India have been stalled by a slow approval process, inadequate capital and low availability of fuel for power projects.

L&T reported a 13 percent rise in net profit to Rs 1,122 crore for the third quarter compared with Rs 992 crore a year earlier. Sales rose 10 percent to Rs 15,429 crore.

Analysts expected the company to report a net profit of Rs 1,079 crore on sales of Rs 16,096 crore, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
