Larsen & Toubro has made a major foray into
international market by securing an order for the construction of civil works of
the 750 MW Ras Laffan 'B' Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) in the Persian Gulf
State of Qatar.
This is part of the Integrated Water & Power
Project and the site is located at Qatar Petroleum's Ras Laffan Industrial City,
80 km away from Doha, Qatar. The order was bagged by Power Plant Construction
Business Unit of L&T's ECC Division
Valued at $14.1 million (Rs.63 crore), this
direct order has been received by L&T against stiff international
competition, through Siemens Power Generation, Germany - the EPC contractor for
the project.
