The company disclosed the order size to be "large." L&T categorises orders between Rs 2,500-5,000 crore within the "large" category.

One of the orders is related to the works to establish over 365 km of 765kV double circuit transmission lines to enable transfer of power from Rajasthan to Gujarat during a high renewable energy availability scenario.

Notably, India has taken up major transmission system expansion works to integrate renewable energy projects in Gujarat and to evacuate power from solar energy zones in Rajasthan.

Another order won by L&T is to implement an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) in the Greater Mumbai area.

L&T says this order marks the penetration of intelligent controls, which have till now been limited mostly to generation and transmission levels, into the distribution level.
