Infrastructure major Larsen & Toubro (L&T) announced on Monday that it has secured a significant order valued between Rs 1,000 crore and Rs 2,500 crore from the Noida Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (NMRC).

The project has been awarded to the heavy civil infrastructure business vertical of L&T. The core scope of work involves the part design and construction of a 15.1-kilometer elevated viaduct. This extension will run from Botanical Garden to Noida Sector-142, as well as from the Depot Station to Boraki.

In addition to the viaduct construction, the contract mandates the development of 10 elevated metro stations, which will also include complete architectural finishes.

According to the company statement, the Noida Metro Aqua Line Extension is designed to improve regional connectivity and commuter accessibility. The initiative is intended to support the rapidly expanding urban landscape of Noida. L&T has committed to a stringent completion timeline of 36 months for the entire project.

Larsen & Toubro is a USD 32-billion Indian multinational enterprise. The conglomerate is primarily engaged in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects, hi-tech manufacturing, and various products and services across diverse business domains and multiple geographies.

"Large-scale infrastructure projects of this magnitude require robust execution capabilities and strict adherence to timelines. Securing a multi-billion-rupee contract from the Noida Metro Rail Corporation highlights L&T's established position in the heavy civil infrastructure sector. For the broader business ecosystem, consistent execution of urban transit projects is essential for sustainable regional development and economic growth." — Dr. Shishir Gupta, Founder & CEO, StartupLanes
