Larsen & Toubro, which has for long wanted a bigger footprint in the Indian defence sector, has got cracking on its ambitious plans. The company today announced a 51:49 joint venture with Europe‘s MBDA Missile Systems with an eye on Rs. 10,000 revenues from the defence sector by 2021.
Besides, SBI Chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya, Larsen & Toubro Chairman A M Naik, ITC COO Sanjiv Puri, JSW Group CMD Sajjan Jindal and Hindustan Coca-cola CEO T Krishankumar will take part in the three-day event.
Senior company officials said acquisition will be done to gain control over new technologies rather than only for expanding revenue. The company's revenue has grown at a compounded rate of 23 percent per year over the past three years, they added.
As part of sharpening the business focus, Naik said the company has "identified select growth businesses in L&T's broad portfolio. These include IT, technology services, defence, smart world and water management.
The listing will take place at the NSE in presence of L&T Group Executive Chairman A M Naik and other top officials along with merchant bankers.
The IPO size of L&T Technology Services is estimated to be more than Rs 750 crore. It could go up to Rs 900-1,000 crore, sources said.
74-year-old Naik, who has been with Larsen and Toubro for 52 years, including about 18 years as its head after rising through ranks, said he knows everything "on the pulse" at L&T and things might not be as easy for his successor but he will ensure that the company remains in strong hands.
The Chairman explained that 70 percent revenue of the Group, which counts on the engineering, procurement and construction business as its flagship business, comes from the "risky" project side and hence, services can be of help in de-risking.
In a presentation to investors, L&T has listed the "increased road build-out by NHAI with current focus on EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) projects" as "opportunities".
A.M. Naik, the executive chairman of the 77-year old group, often viewed as a bellwether of the economy, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's reform agenda had failed to boost business among its core engineering, construction and infrastructure customers.
