Larsen & Toubro’s Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) vertical has secured new mega orders, valued between Rs 10,000 crore and Rs 15,000 crore, to strengthen and expand electricity grids in the Middle East.

L&T shares gained on September 24, and were trading up 0.9 percent at Rs 3,820 on NSE, after rising to the day's high of Rs 3,831.8, amid muted headline markets. The stock has risen about 32 percent in the last one year, matching benchmark NSE Nifty 50's returns during the period.

In Saudi Arabia, L&T will establish High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission links, operating at ±500kV, which will interconnect different regions of the national grid, the company said in a stock exchange filing. These links will enhance the grid's ability to exchange power and improve overall resilience.
