Mumbai : The Minerals & Metals
(M&M) business vertical of L&T has secured major orders from the Steel
Authority of India Limited (SAIL) and other customers, for EPC projects and
products in the domestic metals sector.
L&T and SAIL share a long-standing relationship spanning several
decades, marked by the successful execution of numerous
metallurgical projects across India. This partnership continues
to play a pivotal
role in advancing India’s steel manufacturing ecosystem
through innovation, capacity
augmentation and sustainable
development.
Under its ambitious modernisation and expansion programme, SAIL
plans to increase the crude steel capacity of the IISCO Steel Plant at Burnpur,

core of the new steel complex.
Simultaneously, SAIL’s Bokaro
Steel Plant (BSL) in Jharkhand is undergoing a major upstream
expansion, for which L&T

a package to establish Sinter
Plant #2, reinforcing its strong presence in the steel sector.
In addition, the M&M business
has secured multiple
orders for specialised material handling equipment, including Stacker Reclaimers
