L&T Wins Two Large Orders for Delhi Secretariat and Amaravati Towers
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured two large construction orders in India through its Public Spaces, Airports & Health (PAH) business vertical, according to a company announcement dated October 21, 2026. The projects involve government office buildings in New Delhi and two high-rise towers in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh.
L&T classifies large orders as contracts valued between ₹2,500 crore and ₹5,000 crore. The company has not disclosed the individual values of the two contracts, so their combined value cannot be established from the announcement.
L&T Delhi Secretariat construction order
The first contract was awarded by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) for the construction of the Government of India's Common Central Secretariat buildings 4 and 5 along Kartavya Path in New Delhi.
The project will be executed on an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis. It comprises two buildings configured with a basement, ground floor and seven additional floors, with a combined built-up area of 32.8 lakh square feet.
L&T's scope includes structural and architectural works, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems, and external development works. Construction is scheduled for completion within 24 months, followed by a five-year operation and maintenance period.
The post-construction maintenance requirement extends the project's operational responsibilities beyond the initial building phase. However, the company announcement does not provide a separate financial breakdown for construction and maintenance.
Amaravati project includes two 47-floor office towers
The second order was awarded by the Government of Andhra Pradesh for two office towers to be built on either side of the Amaravati Quantum Computing Centre.
The proposed towers will each have a basement, ground floor and 47 floors. Together, the buildings will cover a total built-up area of 37.5 lakh square feet.
The contract follows a design-and-build approach, with L&T responsible for shell and core works. The company has scheduled completion within 30 months.
The Amaravati project adds another government-backed office construction assignment to L&T's infrastructure portfolio in Andhra Pradesh. The announcement does not specify the individual tower heights, the contract's monetary value or a detailed construction milestone schedule.

What the orders mean for L&T
The two contracts add to L&T's project pipeline in public infrastructure and government buildings. Their execution will involve different delivery requirements: the Delhi assignment includes integrated building systems and a subsequent maintenance period, while the Amaravati assignment focuses on the shell and core of two high-rise towers.
The projects also have different completion schedules, at 24 months for New Delhi and 30 months for Amaravati. Actual execution will depend on construction progress, project coordination and other implementation factors not detailed in the announcement.
For investors tracking L&T, the order wins are relevant to the company's construction pipeline. Nevertheless, the undisclosed contract values mean that the precise contribution to order inflows cannot be calculated from this announcement alone. The order classification should not be interpreted as confirmation that both projects individually or collectively total a particular amount within the stated ranges.
The announcement confirms the contract awards and proposed scope. It does not independently establish the effect on future revenue, margins, earnings or the company's share price.
