Larsen & Toubro (L&T) made headlines on Tuesday when the Defence Acquisition Council approved procurement proposals worth ₹2.12 lakh crore, a figure that could reshape the company’s revenue trajectory.
The contracts span helicopters, artillery systems, air‑defence equipment, drones and naval platforms, and approximately 82% of the equipment is slated for local sourcing, bolstering domestic manufacturing.
This procurement blitz follows L&T’s continued push into the defence sector, where last year’s deals were valued at roughly ₹1.5 lakh crore – a 42% jump that analysts linked to the company’s expanding defence portfolio.
Investors are watching closely as the company’s shares trade on the NSE, with analysts now projecting a 6‑8% lift in Q2 revenue driven by these new contracts.
L&T is scheduled to release its Q2 earnings on Tuesday; guidance is expected to reflect the impact of the ₹2.12 lakh crore deals, potentially setting a new benchmark for defence‑sector upside in the Indian market.
