L&T Construction’s Buildings, Factories & Transportation infrastructure business has secured an order for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the Bhogapuram International Airport in Andhra Pradesh. The airport development is undertaken by GMR Visakhapatnam International Airport Ltd (GVIAL).

The project’s initial capacity will be to handle 6 million passengers per annum, with plans for future expansion to accommodate 12 million passengers. L&T is actively involved in construction projects for major airports in Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, and Navi Mumbai.

Key development activities for the Bhogapuram International Airport project encompass various aspects, including cut and fill works, terminal construction with airport systems, air traffic control (ATC) tower, airfield development (South Runway 3800 m Length, Apron, Taxiways, Airfield Ground Lighting, Fuel Hydrant works, and other facilities), landside facilities, utilities, and support infrastructure.

In August, L&T announced securing a design and build turnkey order from the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) for the construction of a cricket stadium in Varanasi. The stadium, spanning 30.67 acres, will have a seating capacity of 30,000 spectators and will meet International Cricket Council (ICC) standards.

In September, the company revealed an order worth Rs 7,000 crore to design and construct an underground road tunnel connecting Orange Gate on the Eastern Free Way to the Marine Drive coastal road in Mumbai. The project involves twin road tunnels using tunnel boring machines (TBMs), transition ramps, and connections to the existing elevated Eastern Freeway at Orange Gate.

The expected timeline for the completion of the Mumbai road tunnel project is 54 months.
