L&T's order book stood at Rs 4,50,700 crore in the first half of FY24, up 22 percent on-year from the previous fiscal. Though the company recorded a decline in domestic orders in Q2, it was offset by a substantial increase in offshore contracts.
Jefferies also picked L&T among its favourites within the industrial sector. The brokerage feels that L&T holds a favourable position in both the Middle East and domestic markets.
Jefferies also expects sustained growth for L&T over the next four quarters, despite its lower year-on-year margins due to project mix and higher international sales.
