Shares of Larsen and Toubro Ltd (L&T) surged 3.5% to hit a day’s high of Rs 3,644.20 on 25th March. This rise followed after the company announced it had secured a “significant” order for its Water & Effluent Treatment (WET) business from the Guwahati Metropolitan Drinking Water & Sewerage Board in Assam.

The project aims to build a 24/7 water supply system for households in South-East Guwahati. This will improve the reliability of the city’s water infrastructure.

L&T classifies this as a “significant” order, typically valued between Rs 1,000 crore and Rs 2,500 crore.

The work includes designing and building key infrastructure, such as intake systems, pipelines, a water treatment plant, reservoirs, pumping stations, and a full distribution network with household connections.

It also involves setting up a SCADA system for real-time monitoring, along with operations and maintenance for five years.

The company said the project strengthens its presence in Northeast India and supports its focus on expanding water infrastructure projects.
