L&T Wins Contract for 90 MW Floating Solar PV Plant at Omkareshwar Dam

The Power Transmission & Distribution Business of L&T Construction has secured multiple EPC orders in India and overseas. The renewables arm of the Business has received an EPC order to establish a 90 MW floating solar PV plant at the Omkareshwar dam reservoir, a large water body without much change in the water level throughout the year, in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh.

"This water body is emerging as one of the largest floating solar parks in the world. Further, in western Uttar Pradesh, Larsen & Toubro will undertake works for the development of distribution infrastructure under the revamped reforms-linked distribution scheme. The scope of this loss reduction package includes asset mapping using Geospatial Information System (GIS)," the company said in a statement.

In the overseas market, the company has received an order for establishing 400kV and 225kV transmission lines in North Africa. The company has also won an order for building a 132kV substation in the coastal town of Bintulu in Sarawak, Malaysia.
