The order is classified as 'significant', falling within the ₹1,000 crore to ₹2,500 crore range, which is a material but not mega-sized contract for a company of L&T's scale. It reinforces their leadership in a key sector.
The announcement details a significant new order win for L&T, which is a positive development for the company's business and market position.
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured a significant EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) order from Bharat Coal Gasification and Chemicals Ltd (BCGCL) for a Coal-to-Ammonium-Nitrate project in Odisha.

This Lump Sum Turnkey (LSTK) package, designated as Package-3, will focus on the Ammonia Synthesis Unit and its associated facilities. The order strengthens L&T's position in clean syngas-based ammonia synthesis, a crucial component in the coal-to-chemicals value chain. The Ammonia Plant is designed to play a vital role in the downstream manufacture of nitric acid and ammonium nitrate.
L&T Onshore will leverage its expertise in fertilizers, gas processing, and chemical EPC to deliver the Ammonia Synthesis Unit. The scope of work encompasses process license, basic and detailed engineering, procurement, construction, mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning, performance guarantee test runs, overall project management, and final handover on an LSTK basis with single-point responsibility.
Mr. Subramanian Sarma, Deputy Managing Director & President of L&T, highlighted the project's importance in India's self-reliance agenda for gasification-based downstream chemical infrastructure. He emphasized L&T's role as a trusted EPC partner for complex, nationally important projects and how indigenous ammonia capacity supports supply resilience and downstream industrial ecosystems.
Mr. E.S. Sathyanarayanan, Senior Vice President & Head of L&T Onshore, added that L&T's proven capabilities in executing ammonia and fertilizer plants ensure efficient delivery of such technology-intensive assets, guaranteeing consistent product quality, operational reliability, and long-term performance.
L&T Energy Hydrocarbon Onshore is a major EPC business in India, providing comprehensive LSTK solutions across upstream, midstream, and downstream hydrocarbon sectors, with a track record in refinery expansions, petrochemical complexes, gas processing plants, fertilizer plants, LNG terminals, and cross-country pipelines.
Based on the order classification provided, a 'Significant' order for L&T falls within the value range of ₹1,000 crore to ₹2,500 crore.
