# L&T bags Rs 15,000-plus crore gas compression project in West Asia 2026-08-24T08:36:00+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Larsen & Toubro has signed an 'ultra mega' agreement for a gas compression project in West Asia valued at over Rs 15,000 crore, the company announced on Monday. The order, classified as ultra mega based on L&T's internal threshold, was awarded by a prestigious client in the region through a letter of award received in FY26. L&T's hydrocarbon onshore arm, LTEH Onshore, will handle the engineering, procurement and construction of gas compression plants, including gas inlet facilities, compression systems, and modules for condensate and produced water. The company's Power Transmission & Distribution arm will separately build two 230 kV extra-high-voltage substations for the project. Senior Vice President E S Sathyanarayanan said the contract marks a strategically important project that adds significant gas compression capacity and utility infrastructure, drawing on L&T's experience in complex hydrocarbon facilities and sour gas applications. ## Indian Opinion Analysis For Larsen & Toubro, the 'ultra mega' threshold (Rs 15,000 crore and above) has been reserved for its largest hydrocarbon and infrastructure orders. This West Asian gas compression deal follows a string of multi-billion rupee EPC wins from the same region in recent quarters, as Gulf states ramp up gas processing capacity to meet rising power demand and LNG export commitments. The contract value, estimated at roughly Rs 15,000-20,000 crore, will directly add to L&T's order book for FY26. The execution timeline is not disclosed, but typical projects of this scale span 36-48 months. Investors will now watch for the project's margin profile and any further order inflows from the client before the next quarterly earning call. ## Coverage - energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com Leads with company press release details and the record order size, no independent scrutiny or scepticism This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
