Engineering and construction major Larsen & Toubro has secured contracts under its Buildings & Factories business, bagging two major government-backed infrastructure projects in New Delhi and Andhra Pradesh, according to a company press statement.

 

The company has received an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) order from the Central Public Works Department to build Common Central Secretariat buildings 6 and 7 in the national capital.

 

The project entails the construction of two buildings, each comprising one basement, two podiums, an upper ground floor, and six additional floors, the company said.

 

The scope of work includes civil structure, finishes, mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, external development, and five years of operations and maintenance. 

 

 

In a separate order, the conglomerate won a design-and-build contract from the Government of Andhra Pradesh to construct the State Legislative Assembly building.

 

The project involves the construction of a structure comprising a basement, ground floor, and three additional floors, the company said.

 

Both projects are expected to be completed within an 18-month timeline.
