Company Overview

Larsen & Toubro is India's largest engineering and construction company — the group that builds the country's infrastructure: metros, roads, bridges, ports, power plants, refineries and even defence equipment. It wins large projects, executes them over years, and gets paid as milestones are met. Beyond construction, it owns big, high-margin technology businesses (LTIMindtree and LTTS in IT/engineering services) and a financial-services arm, which lift the group's overall returns.

Dependence on government and Middle East capex cycles.
Commodity (steel, cement) cost swings squeeze thin project margins.
Execution risk on very large, complex multi-year contracts.
