Renewable Energy

Solar Power Plants

Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) based power plants utilise renewable solar energy and contribute to reduction of GHG emissions.

L&T commissioned 200 MWp of Solar Power Plants and commissioned India’s largest Solar Tracker based Solar Power Plant in Tamil Nadu.

Hydro-Power Plants - Our ‘Water to Wire’ solutions

Renewable energy based power plants which harness the energy of moving water.

Hydel projects with an aggregate capacity of 870 MW are in various stages of development by L&T.

Energy Efficiency

Efficient Power Transmission & Distribution System

L&T offers highly-efficient Power Transmission and Distribution Systems (PTDS) designed to reduce pilferage and transmission and distribution losses. This saves 20 - 40% of electricity, which reduces CO2 emissions significantly. PTDS includes transmission lines, underground cable networks, substations, distribution networks, electrical, instrumentation & communication works.

Energy-efficient Equipment

Electrical & Automation business offers a range of eco-friendly products, systems and services for industrial, commercial and residential applications.

Products: Low-watt loss fuses, AC drives, soft starters, power factor improvement capacitors.

Systems: Industrial & building automation solutions, smart metering systems.

Software Functions: Energy performance analysis, integrated energy management.

CO₂ Emission Reduction

Metro and Mono Rail

Mass Rapid Transit systems provide enhanced connectivity, reducing the number of cars on the road, which in turn, reduces pollution and maximises resource efficiency.

243 km of Metro rail systems including ongoing projects is credited to L&T. L&T has successfully executed metro rail projects in multiple cities across the country and internationally.

Green Buildings

The Company constructs certified Green Buildings which consume less energy and water, utilise recycled material and localy source most of the construction material.

More than 49.1 million sq. ft. of Green Building space has been constructed by the Company for its clients. Additional 8.84 million sq.ft. of green space is under various stages of construction.

Water & Resource Conservation

Water Treatment & Distribution Infrastructure

L&T constructs bulk distribution and water treatment systems, waste water treatment plants, effluent treatment & recycling plants and lift irrigation systems.

L&T has constructed water and waste water distribution networks extending across 50,000 km. It has also constructed 4,000 MLD of water and waste water treatment plants.

Supercritical Thermal Power Plant & Equipment

Supercritical technology results in better energy efficiency, less fuel consumption, less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and less water consumption. It requires lesser land and have lesser O&M expenses over the project life cycle.

L&T is executing 4 orders of ultra-supercritical and supercritical thermal power plants in India.

Coal Gasifiers

Coal gasification technology offered is used to produce synthesis gas – an economical alternative to natural gas. Synthesis-gas based plants use coal economically resulting in less CO₂ emissions.
