L&T Engineering and Construction Services

Larsen & Toubro, commonly known as L&T, is a preeminent Indian multinational conglomerate with extensive interests in engineering, construction, manufacturing, technology, and financial services. Headquartered in Mumbai, the company was founded in 1938 by two Danish engineers, Henning Holck-Larsen and Søren Kristian Toubro, who were working in India at the time. Over the decades, it has transformed from a small representative office for Danish dairy equipment manufacturers into one of the largest and most respected engineering firms in the world.

While its roots involve Danish founders, L&T is a quintessentially Indian enterprise. It is unique in its corporate structure as it is a professionally managed company with no single 'promoter' or family owner. A significant portion of its shares is held by the L&T Employees Welfare Foundation, alongside various institutional investors and the Indian government. This structure has allowed the company to maintain a steady focus on national infrastructure development and technological self-reliance, operating across over 30 countries globally.
