Infrastructure giant Larsen & Toubro secured significant orders ranging between ₹1,000–2,500 crore from the Rajasthan government.
The deets: the company’s water and effluent treatment division will execute two major Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects aimed at improving water supply in rural areas.
Project 1: L&T will lay 5,251 km of pipelines and build 190+ structures to deliver clean water to 285 villages and 2 towns in Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu district.
Project 2: in Ajmer’s Kekri-Sarwar region, it will add 43 km of pipelines to boost the local water network.
Why it matters: clean water is still a big challenge in rural India. L&T’s projects aim to improve access and tackle health issues like fluorosis from high fluoride levels.
