L&T Orders, October 21, 2026: Kartavya Path and Amaravati Towers Win

L&T orders were among the early filings on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. Larsen & Toubro told the exchanges a little after 9:30 am that its Public Spaces, Airports & Health (PAH) business has won two government building contracts: one on Kartavya Path in New Delhi and one in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh.

The company didn’t put a rupee figure on either contract. It tagged the win as “Large”, and L&T’s own scale, printed at the bottom of the release, defines a large order as one worth ₹2,500 crore to ₹5,000 crore.

What L&T’s two orders cover

Here is what the press release filed with NSE says about each job.

• New Delhi. The Central Public Works Department has picked L&T to build buildings 4 and 5 of the Government of India’s Common Central Secretariat along Kartavya Path. It’s an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for two buildings, each with a basement, ground floor and seven upper floors, and a combined built-up area of 32.8 lakh sq. ft. L&T handles structural, architectural, MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) and external development work. Completion is due in 24 months, followed by five years of operation and maintenance.
• Amaravati. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has given L&T a design-and-build order for two office towers, one on each side of the Amaravati Quantum Computing Centre. Each tower has a basement, ground floor and 47 floors, and together they add up to 37.5 lakh sq. ft. of built-up area. The scope covers shell and core works, with a 30-month timeline.

Put the two together and that’s 70.3 lakh sq. ft. of government office space, by our addition. The Amaravati towers are the bigger job by area, though the Delhi contract runs longer once you count the five-year maintenance tail.

Reading the “Large” tag

The release gives no exact value. Instead L&T classifies orders in five bands: significant (₹1,000-2,500 crore), large (₹2,500-5,000 crore), major (₹5,000-10,000 crore), mega (₹10,000-15,000 crore) and ultra-mega (above ₹15,000 crore). One release covers both orders here, and the company gives no split between them, so we can’t say how much each one is worth on its own.

For a company L&T describes as a USD 32 billion multinational, a contract in the ₹2,500-5,000 crore band won’t move full-year numbers much by itself. What it does is add to the order book, which is the figure investors track closely with engineering companies. We saw the same pattern this week when BEL announced ₹1,011 crore of orders; those disclosures matter more as a running signal than one at a time.

Why buildings, and why now

Both clients are governments putting up administrative space. The Delhi job is part of the Central Secretariat buildings along Kartavya Path, and the Amaravati towers will flank the Amaravati Quantum Computing Centre. For L&T’s PAH vertical, which builds public spaces, airports and hospitals, this is core work. The company says the wins show the confidence government agencies have in its ability to deliver demanding projects. That’s its claim, of course, not an independent assessment.

What we’d watch next is execution and timing. Order wins show up in revenue only as the work gets done, and with build periods of 24 and 30 months, the revenue from these jobs will come in gradually rather than in one quarter. When L&T reports its next set of results, the order inflow and order book figures will show how much this kind of government building work is adding. If you follow engineering and construction names, our guide on how to analyse quarterly results explains how to read order inflow next to revenue and margins.
