Ramakrishnan from Larsen & Toubro . Thank you, and over to you, Mr. Ramakrishnan.
Thank you, Rutuja. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. A warm welcome to all of you into the Q2 H1 FY 2026 Earnings Call of Larsen & Toubro. The earnings presentation was uploaded on the stock exchange and on our website around 6:20 P.M. Hope you had a chance to take a quick look at the numbers. I will first walk you through the important highlights for Q2 FY 2026 in the next 20 to 25 minutes or so, post which we will take questions. Kindly note that when the Q&A session starts, I will also have with me our Deputy Managing Director and President, Mr. Subramanian Sarma.
Before I begin the overview, the disclaimer from our end: the presentation which we have uploaded on the stock exchange and our website today, including the discussions we may have on the call today, may contain certain forward-looking statements concerning L&T's business prospects and profitability, which are subject to several risks and uncertainties, and the actual results could materially differ from those in such forward-looking statements. I would request you to go through the detailed disclaimer which is available in slide two of our earnings presentation that we have uploaded today. I will start with a brief overview on the economic conditions in India and the Middle East, which are key markets for the company, especially for the products and manufacturing businesses. The country, that is, India's economic outlook continues to remain optimistic.
The domestic conditions are favorable, with GDP growth for FY 2026 projected between 6.5% to 7%, largely driven by retail consumption, a resilient services sector, and steady CapEx. The new private sector capital expenditure plans are also being driven by increased investments in Manufacturing, Renewables, Real Estate, Digital Infrastructure, and Power Generation projects, even as the public infrastructure continues at a steady pace. The economic growth in the Middle East is expected to remain stable, supported by a rebound in oil output, controlled inflation, and continued diversification into non-oil sectors. However, flat oil revenues, as lower prices offset the higher production, may lead to a renewed focus on efficient and prioritized spending. Countries in the region are increasingly prioritizing natural gas and renewables over oil for domestic power generations as part of their long-term economic diversification strategy.
This shift supports their transition to clean energy while enabling higher oil exports and greater value capture through petrochemicals production. Having covered the macro landscape, let me share some few important highlights for the quarter. The L&T's Onshore and Offshore Hydrocarbon businesses have secured each ultra-mega orders in the Middle East. The Onshore order involves the setting up of a natural gas liquids plant and allied facilities, while the Offshore order involves multiple packages, including EPC, installation of offshore structures, and upgradation of existing facilities. During the quarter, we have entered into strategic MOUs and partnerships across our Renewables, Green Energy, Defense, and Semiconductor businesses, strengthening the foundation for our future growth. The Renewables business within the infrastructure segment has entered an MOU with ACWA Power for the Renewables and grid scope of the Yanbu Green Ammonia Project in Saudi Arabia.
The scope involves multiple facilities, including solar, photovoltaic, wind, and battery energy storage system plants, along with associated substations and transmission lines. The cooperation involves a commitment from L&T to enter an EPC contract once the final proposal is accepted. L&T GreenTech Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary, has entered into a joint development agreement with ITOCHU Corporation of Japan to develop and commercialize a 300 KTPA green ammonia project at Kandla in Gujarat. Under the agreement, L&T Energy GreenTech and ITOCHU will collaborate on the development of the facility, with ITOCHU planning to offtake the product for bunkering applications in Singapore. The company has formed a strategic partnership with Bharat Electronics to support the AMCA program of the Indian Air Force. The consortium has submitted an expression of interest in response to a notification issued by the Government of India's Aeronautical Development Agency.
L&T Semiconductor Technologies, another wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired the power module design assets of Fujitsu General Electronics of Japan. As part of the transaction, the semiconductor company has acquired Fujitsu's R&D equipment, design patents, and various intellectual properties related to power module technologies. Additionally, the semiconductor subsidiary has signed an MOU with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, to jointly develop a national 2D innovation hub. The envisioned hub will serve as a world-class facility focused on next-generation semiconductor innovation beyond silicon chip technologies, placing the country at the forefront of global semiconductor research and development. Besides this, the company has reached an in-principle understanding with the Government of Telangana, wherein the government will take over the Hyderabad Metro SPV by refinancing the current debt and acquiring the entire equity stake in L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited.
The contours of the final agreement are being finalized, and we expect this transaction to get consummated by the end of the current fiscal FY 2026. The company has secured a sustainability-linked trade finance facility from a commercial bank worth $700 million. The facility is aligned with international sustainability standards and ties its terms to the KPIs such as greenhouse gas emission intensity and freshwater withdrawal, which are critical to L&T's operations. I will now cover the various financial performance parameters for Q2 FY 2026. We continue to witness strong ordering activity in Q2 FY 2026 across India and the Middle East, with order inflows growing 45% Y-on-Y. Supported by this sustained momentum, the order book expanded to INR 6.67 trillion as of September 2025, reflecting a 31% Y-on-Y increase and providing a strong revenue visibility in the near future. Our group revenues grew 10% Y-on-Y in Q2 FY 2026.
The execution levels remained broadly in line with expectations, barring a few sector-specific challenges. The Projects & Manufacturing portfolio margin improved from 7.6% in Q2 of the previous year to 7.8% in Q2 FY 2026. As of September 2025, the Net Working Capital to Revenue ratio remained healthy at 10.2%, an improvement of almost 200 basis points Y-on-Y. Our continued emphasis on capital efficiency also translated into a further improvement in the Return on Equity, which rose to 17.2%, up 110 basis points Y-on-Y. I now move on to the individual performance parameters. During the quarter, the group order inflows stood at INR 1,158 billion, registering a Y-on-Y growth of 45%, reflecting the continued traction across our key businesses.
Within this, the Projects & Manufacturing, that is, the P&M portfolio, delivered a strong performance with order inflows of INR 968 billion, up 54% Y-on-Y, underscoring the broad-based demand environment across both domestic and international markets. The growth in the P&M portfolio was broad-based, with domestic order inflows growing 40% Y-on-Y and international inflows up 62% Y-on-Y. The order inflows during the quarter were driven by strong activity across Hydrocarbon, Buildings and Factories, Heavy Civil, and the Renewable subsegments. During the quarter, the share of international orders in the P&M portfolio stood at 65% as compared to 62% in the Q2 of the previous year. Moving on to the prospects pipeline for the near term, we have an overall prospects pipeline of INR 10.4 trillion vis-à-vis INR 8.1 trillion at the same time last year. This represents an increase of 29% on a Y-on-Y basis.
The increase in the prospects pipeline is mainly led by Infrastructure and Hydrocarbon segments. The broad breakup of the overall prospects pipeline for the near term is as follows: Infrastructure: INR 6.50 trillion vis-à-vis INR 5.42 trillion last year, representing an increase of 20%. Hydrocarbons: INR 2.93 trillion vis-à-vis INR 2.25 trillion last year, representing an increase of 30%. CarbonLite S olutions, t he prospects pipeline as of September 2025 is INR 0.46 trillion as compared to INR 0.24 trillion last September 2024. The Green and Clean Energy opportunities aggregate to INR 0.18 trillion as compared to INR 0.01 trillion last year. The increase is primarily because of Gas to Power- related opportunities outside of India. The Heavy Engineering and the Precision Engineering and Systems, which aggregate to what we call the Hi-Tech Manufacturing segment, the order prospects as of September 2025 is at INR 0.31 trillion as compared to INR 0.16 trillion last year.
Moving on to the order book, the order book as of September 2025 stands at INR 6.67 trillion, up by 31% as compared to September 2024 last year. The products and manufacturing order book has a balanced geographic mix, with 51% of the order book coming from domestic markets and 49% from outside India. Out of the International order book of INR 3.27 trillion, around 84% is from Middle East, and the balance 16% is from other parts of the world. The client-wise composition of the domestic order book of INR 3.4 trillion as of September 2025 is as: Central Government constitutes 14%. State Government and Local Authorities, the order book share is 24%. Public Sector Corporations 32%, and the Private Sector Composition is at 30%.
As you may note, the share of the Private Sector in our domestic order book has increased from 21% as of March 2025 to 30% as of September 2025. This growth reflects improved activity in the Residential and Commercial Real Estate, Power Generation, and Data Storage Solutions, as well as the Minerals and Metals sector. Approximately 12% of our total order book of INR 6.67 trillion is funded by bilateral and multilateral funding institutions. Again, 91% of our total order book is from infrastructure and energy. You may refer to the presentation slides for further details. No major orders were deleted during the quarter, and as of September, the share of slow-moving orders is around 3%. Coming to revenues, the Group Revenues for Q2 FY 2026 at INR 680 billion registered a Y-on-Y growth of 10%. The international revenues constituted 56% of the revenues during the quarter.
The strong execution momentum in the Energy and Hi-Tech Manufacturing segments drove the overall group revenue growth for the quarter, while execution in the Infrastructure Project segment was a little subdued during the quarter. Within the overall group revenue, the P&M businesses recorded revenue of INR 490 billion for Q2 FY 2026, marking a 10% growth over the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Moving on to EBITDA margin, the Group level EBITDA margin without other income for Q2 FY26 is 10% as compared to 10.3% in Q2 of the previous year. The decline in EBITDA margin is primarily due to the margin compression in our IT& TS segment. The detailed breakup of EBITDA margin business-wise, including other income, is given in the annexes to the earnings presentation. Our EBITDA margin in the P&M business portfolio has improved from 7.6% in Q2 FY 2025 to 7.8% in Q2 FY 2026.
The segment-wise EBITDA percentages will be shared in detail during the discussion on the segment performance. Our Consolidated PAT for Q2 FY26 at INR 39 billion is up by 16% as compared to Q2 of the previous year. The increase in PAT is reflective of improved activity levels and efficient treasury management. The group performance, the P&L construct, along with the reasons for the major variances under the respective function heads, is provided in the earnings presentation. You may go through for further details. Coming on to working capital, our group NWC to sales ratio has improved from 12.2% in September 2024 to 10.2% in September 2025, mainly due to an improvement in the GWC to sales ratio backed by strong customer collections during the last 12 months.
Our group-level collections, excluding financial services segment for Q2 FY 2026, is INR 600 billion as compared to INR 620 billion in Q2 of the previous year. The year-on-year dip is primarily timing-related, as we had witnessed a very strong collection growth in the first quarter of the current financial year. With the continued focus on customer collections, our cash flow from operations, excluding financial services segment, between April to September 2025, is at INR 106 billion as compared to INR 61 billion in H1 of the previous year. We have added a slide on group cash flows, excluding L&T Finance, in the annexure alongside the reported cash flow slide to give more clarity on the cash flow performance. Finally, the trailing 12-month ROE for Q2 FY 2026 is 17.2% as compared to 16.1% in Q2 of the previous year, an improvement of 110 basis points.
Very briefly, I will now comment on the performance of each business segment before we give our final comments on our outlook for the remaining part of FY 2026. The first would be infrastructure. This segment order inflow grew 6% in Q2 FY 2026 on a Y-on-Y basis, driven by strong domestic private sector demand spanning residential, commercial buildings, airports, data centers, pumped storage projects, ferrous and non-ferrous facilities, solar PV manufacturing plants, and semiconductor fab facilities that were witnessed during the quarter. These together account for nearly 60% of the domestic orders for the quarter. Like I mentioned earlier, our order prospects pipeline Infra for the near term is around INR 6.50 trillion as compared to INR 5.42 trillion during the same time last year, representing an increase of 20%. The infra prospects pipeline of INR 6.5 trillion comprises domestic prospects of INR 4.25 trillion and international prospects of INR 2.25 trillion.
The subsegment breakup of the total order prospects in Infra segment is as: the share of Transportation Infrastructure is 21%, Heavy Civil Infrastructure is 16%, Water and Effluent Treatment 15%, Power Transmission and Distribution 14%, Buildings and Factories 13%, Renewables at 11%, and Minerals & Metals at 10%. The order book of the segment is at INR 3.95 trillion as of September 2025, with the execution period around three years. The revenues for the quarter in the infrastructure segment registered a marginal decline of 1% Y-on-Y, largely attributed to an extended monsoon season and slower progress in the rural water supply projects, which continue to face sector-specific challenges. In addition, a few large renewable projects are in the initial execution phase. Our EBITDA margin in the segment was at 6.3% in Q2 FY 2026 as compared to 6% in Q2 FY 2025.
The margin uptick has been driven by improved execution efficiency. Moving on to the next segment, which is Energy Projects, which comprises Hydrocarbon and CarbonLite Solutions. The order inflows in this segment were robust at INR 382 billion in Q2 FY26 as compared to INR 78 billion in Q2 FY 2025. The segment order book was helped by receipt of ultra-mega orders across Onshore and Offshore verticals of the Hydrocarbon business in the Middle East. We have a strong order prospects pipeline of INR 3.57 trillion for the segment in the near term, comprising Hydrocarbon prospects of INR 2.93 trillion, CarbonLite Solutions of INR 0.46 trillion, and clean energy prospects of INR 0.18 trillion. The Hydrocarbon prospects remain predominantly International, with approximately 93% of the opportunities overseas, while CarbonLite Solutions prospects are primarily domestic, and clean energy is largely driven by gas-to-power opportunities.
The order book of the Energy segment is at INR 2.14 trillion as of September 2025, with the Hydrocarbon order book at INR 1.66 trillion and CarbonLite Solutions at INR 0.48 trillion. The Q2 FY 2026 revenues for the segment at INR 131 billion registers a robust growth of 48%, driven by the execution ramp-up in international Hydrocarbon projects and commencement of execution in the CarbonLite Solutions orders secured in the recent past. The Energy segment margin in Q2 FY 2026 is at 7.3% vis-à-vis 8.9% in Q2 of the previous year. The margin decline for the quarter in the Hydrocarbon business was primarily due to cost overruns in some few domestic and international projects. These projects are in the final stages of execution and are expected to conclude over the next few quarters. We do anticipate soft margins in the segment to persist in the near term.
As already communicated during our Q1 FY 2026 Earnings Call, this is factored into our FY 2026 P&M margin guidance. The carbon solutions margin improvement benefited from a favorable customer claim. The Clean Energy businesses within the Energy segment are in the incubation stage and are yet to meaningfully contribute to the segment numbers. We will now move on to the Hi-Tech Manufacturing segment, which primarily comprises Precision Engineering Systems and the Heavy Engineering Business. The lower order inflow in Q2 FY 2026 is due to order deferrals in both the businesses. The order book of the segment is INR 391 billion as of September 2025, with the Precision Engineering order book at INR 328 billion and the Heavy Engineering order book at INR 62 billion.
Our order prospect pipeline for the near term in this segment is around INR 315 billion, comprising INR 251 billion of Precision Engineering prospects and the remaining INR 64 billion from the Heavy Engineering business. The segment revenue at approximately INR 28 billion registered a strong growth of 33% Y-on-Y, with robust execution momentum across both the businesses. During the quarter, operational efficiencies aided margin improvement in Heavy Engineering, while lower margin in PES, that is, the Precision Engineering Systems, is largely reflective of a larger share of early-stage jobs and costs incurred on certain development projects. Moving on to the next segment, IT and Technology Services, which comprises two listed entities, LTIMindtree and LTTS, and as well as our newly incubated business of digital platforms, data centers, and semiconductor design. The revenues of this segment at INR 133 billion in Q2 FY 2026 registered a growth of 13%.
The segment margin variation vis-à-vis previous year is largely due to the subdued margins in LTTS and costs incurred towards the newly incubated businesses. I will not dwell too much on the segment, as both the companies in the segment are listed, and the detailed fact sheets are already available in the public domain. We move on to L&T Finance Limited. Here again, the detailed results are available in the public domain. But to sum up, Q2 for L&T Finance witnessed the highest-ever quarterly retail disbursement and improved collection efficiency. The financial services business achieved 98% retailization of its loan book in September 2025, well ahead of its Lakshya 2026 targets. The ROAs remain healthy at 2.4% for Q2 FY 2026, and adequate capital is available on the balance sheet to pursue growth in the medium term.
Moving on to the Development Projects segment, which primarily includes Nabha Power and Hyderabad Metro. The higher average fare hike that we did in the current year has led to the revenue growth and margin improvement of Hyderabad Metro. The average fare per passenger has increased from INR 38 in Q2 FY 2025 to INR 46 in Q2 FY 2026. The average ridership during the quarter was at INR 4.39 lakh passengers per day as compared to 4.68 lakh passengers per day in the same period of the previous year. At the PAT level, Hyderabad Metro posted a loss of INR 1.75 billion in the current quarter as compared to a loss of INR 2.07 billion in Q2 of last year.
As I stated earlier, we have reached an in-principle understanding with the Government of Telangana, where the Government of Telangana will take over the debt and the equity of L&T from the concerned SPV, which is L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad. The EBITDA margin of the segment was impacted by a litigation-related provision in respect of Nabha Power. Moving on to the others of the last segment, this segment comprises Realty, Industrial Valves, Construction Equipment and Mining Machinery, Rubber Processing Machinery, and the residual portion of the Smart World Business. The segment witnessed healthy order inflow growth driven by higher pre-sales in the Realty business and increased orders in the Construction Equipment business. The segment revenue at INR 14.2 billion declined by 14% Y-on-Y, primarily driven by the lower handover of residential units in the Realty business.
The segment margin improvement was primarily due to sales of Commercial space in the Realty segment. We have given the segment breakup between Realty and other businesses within the segment as part of our annexes in the presentation. Before I conclude, let me cover the guidance on the various parameters for FY 2026. Order inflows: We witnessed a strong ordering momentum in H1 of the current financial year, and we see a robust prospects pipeline for the near term. We are confident of exceeding our full-year FY 2026 guidance of 10% growth in group order inflows for the current year. As we speak, we are also well placed to secure a few ultra-mega opportunities. On revenue, the group revenue grew by 13% in H1 FY 2026, in line with our expectations.
As highlighted during the Q4 FY 2025 earnings call, we expect a stronger revenue visibility in the second half of the fiscal year, driven by a ramp-up in the execution. Accordingly, we maintain our full-year revenue growth guidance at 15%. Coming to the EBITDA margin for the P&M business, as you may have seen, the EBITDA margin for the P&M business has improved by 10 basis points in H1 FY26. With the execution momentum expected to pick up in H2, we are reasonably confident to achieve our full-year EBITDA margin target of 8.5%. On Working Capital, our guidance for working capital for FY 2026 remains unchanged at around 12% by March 2026. With this, I conclude. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for the patient hearing. We can now begin the Q&A part of the call.
In the interest of time, I would encourage all the participants to stick to the broader questions on strategy and outlook to take full advantage of the presence of our Deputy Managing Director and President, Mr. Subramanian Sarma. The bookkeeping questions can be taken up by the IR team at a suitable time. Thank you.
Thank you very much. We will now begin the question and answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one on the touchtone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. The first question is from the line of Mohit Kumar from ICICI Securities. Please go ahead.
Yeah, good evening, sir, and thanks for the opportunity.
My first question is, sir, as per media, it seems we are quite ahead in Kuwait in large projects. Is it possible to help us with the tendering prospect or prospect pipeline and the sustainability of these prospects in the country from the medium-term perspective?
Yeah, Sarma here. Good evening, all of you. You're right. I think this was a public opening, so we have an L1 position on three of the bids we have submitted out of five, I think, adding up to about $4.5 billion. We'll have to see how the whole process now moves on in terms of budget allocation, but we are kind of optimistic that they should be able to get the extra funds because all these prices are, though we are L1, the prices are above the budget.
So they are completing their process for getting the additional funding, and that should get done by this quarter or maybe latest by next quarter. And hopefully, this should come through. We're hoping for that. What was the other question? Yeah, I mean, I think the overall, in terms of opportunity, the pipeline looks strong in terms of what is available in Saudi and Qatar and Kuwait and also that joint operation of Khafji. And also, there are a lot of opportunities coming in UAE. So we are quite bullish on the Middle East now for the time being.
Yeah. My second question is, sir, of course, the rising order book in the Middle East. What are the execution challenges while sustaining the profitability? And is there any peak order book which you think of, the level at which we don't have to worry about the resource mobilization?
No, you don't need to worry because we worry about the order book in terms of our risk exposure. We have a very good robust system we are internally, Mr. Shankar Raman and the team and Govindan and team. We have a very strong risk management system. They interrogate all the businesses in terms of country exposure and geopolitics, etc., so we have a strong system there, and we are very cognizant of that in terms of what is our exposure. Our experience has been good. The customers are paying well. All these companies are national oil companies. They have a reasonably good cash flow, and we have not seen any payment risk. The commercial terms and conditions, what is available in the contracts, are quite reasonable, acceptable, pretty balanced.
And the execution risk is more or less the same as what we have been experiencing in the past and historically, I mean, in the sense that we have to be sort of aware of the supply chain constraints and logistic constraints and local work availability. I think we have overcome many of those through having a strategic partnership at the time of bidding and negotiating some of the critical high-value orders during the bidding and back-to-back contracts and things like that. So we know the market. We know the risk, and we have a plan to mitigate those risks. So by and large, I would not be too concerned about execution.
Understood. My last question, sir, as per media, we are looking to invest in Electronic Manufacturing Services.
Can you please explain the kind of investment within the EMS you're interested in to us and the expected investment and the market potential?
So, Mohit, I will take that. We are, in a way, we have a Precision Electronics part as a small sub-item under our Precision Engineering business, and we have a unit in Coimbatore. As part of our Lakshya L31 strategy, we are seriously looking into expanding the electronic part of our L&T's portfolio. Various options are being explored, including the need to set up units in some parts of the country. At this juncture, it's a little premature for us to comment on the extent of investments and which areas we will be covering.
Kindly wait, maybe sometime in May 2026, once we complete our financial results and we are ready with our strategic plan for L31, we will be in a position to possibly give you more greater detail of the future business prospects and the investment potential, along with the opportunities insofar as this business is concerned.
Understood. Thank you and all the best. Thank you.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we would request you to please limit your questions to one per participant. The next question is from the line of Mohit Pandey from Citigroup. Please go ahead.
Yeah. Good evening, sir, and thank you for the opportunity. Sir, my question is on the Infrastructure segment. So when you mentioned execution pickup into it, is it safe to assume infrastructure execution also is being seen as picking up? And associated question is on margin.
So this quarter, despite revenue decline, there has been 30 basis points margin expansion in Infra. So safe to assume that is sustainable because that looks driven by execution efficiencies. And also, you mentioned a sizable chunk of incremental orders have been via private sector. So what would that mean for margins? And are these generally lower gestation compared to Non-Private Sector orders in the Infrastructure segment? That would be my question.
So thank you, Mohit. I think you were asked to ask one question. You asked four questions now. Okay. I'll take one by one. So the infra revenue has been sort of stagnant for Q2 of the current year. Having said this, one of the main reasons, as I explained, was because of an extended monsoon across many parts of the country that affected the pace of execution.
And secondly, and this I have mentioned in the Q1 earnings call also, that because of the payment-related issues with respect to certain projects in the Water and Effluent treatment segment, we have slowed down execution. Okay. Having said this, the overall revenue guidance that the company has provided for 15% of full year is on track. Okay. And this we can confirm. And we do believe, and as you know, that the H2 for infrastructure is a far more busier two quarters as compared to a relatively subdued H1. So this is baked in terms of how the revenue growth has happened. This is baked into our 15% overall P&M guidance on revenues. And as far as number two point is concerned, I think over the years, the infra margins have come down, have been southward bound for various reasons.
But given the fact of rigor of execution and better control on project execution timelines, and with also looking to ensure that the growth is related to the collections we get, this has finally resulted in a slow improvement in the infra margins. We do believe that infra margins will be a little more northward, but since we don't give margin guidance for the individual P&M segment, this is also baked into our overall FY 2026 target of 8.5%. Okay. So number three, of course, the share of private sector orders have gone up, largely driven by Real Estate and the CarbonLite type of orders. So one important thing is, as far as private sector orders is concerned, obviously, the execution momentum in line with the payments, I think, will be faster. This is something I think we have always maintained.
A higher share of private orders could potentially result in an improved working capital situation. But having said this, as far as margins is concerned, we should be seeing it as the execution of the project's progress. But let me also tell you that the company, as Mr. Sarma was referring to, it's the answer to the previous question. We are ensuring a proper risk mitigation or risk evaluation mechanism while we bid for projects concerning the customer, the sector, and the geography.
Okay, sir. Thank you so much. I wish you all the best.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Aditya Bhartia from Investec. Please go ahead.
Hi, good evening, sir. My first question. Water segment, how big is the segment in the overall scheme of things? What proportion of domestic order book could be from the Water segment?
Is it that we are really going slow on execution given the payment challenges, or are you seeing some improvement around that?
Sorry, sorry. As far as the Water segment is concerned, the order book that we have is around INR 400 billion. 7% of the total order. 7% of the total order book. And these are projects now which have been related to the Jal Jeevan Mission projects. And once the allocations of the government start coming in, we do expect the execution momentum to smoothen out in the subsequent quarters.
Understood. So as of now, we are going very slow on execution of these projects. They are not really contributing. There's no money that's getting stuck over there because we are just going slow on execution itself.
Yes. Money is getting slow on execution, but we are not just building up execution without getting paid.
Understood, sir.
And so my second question is on Realty. Where in the last couple of quarters, we've been seeing very high margins? I mean, if we look at this quarter, revenues might have been lower, but margins have been exceptional. So how should we think about this business from the perspective of next two or three years? What's the roadmap? What kind of growth should we be seeing in, and what kind of margin should we be building in?
So the issue is, insofar as the Realty business is concerned, it is more of an accounting development because in a particular quarter, when you have a higher handing over of the residential units, the entire sales and margin gets clocked in, unlike the other P&M business where the margins get crystallized over the period of execution. So this is at a point of time recognition of sales and margin.
To that extent, you can have some quarters' margins dipping at the overall P&M level because of lower handing over of residential units. And in case of any quarter where the number of units go up, then consequently, the realty business will show a better profit. And this apart from in a particular quarter, if there is a particular sale of a commercial property, that adds up also to the overall margin. So for example, in the current quarter, we have had, in terms of a sale of a commercial property along with sale of TDR rights, has enabled the profitability to go up almost by INR 9.9 billion.
Understood, sir. And could you give us some roadmap on how we should think about the realty business for next few years?
What kind of growth should we anticipate in terms of residential project sales and any large commercial project that we should be aware of?
So as of now, the way we are focusing is that we will try to expand the presence in the cities of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, National Capital Region, Bengaluru, Chennai. And this development will be happening through a mix of monetizing of our existing land parcels, acquisition of new land, real estate parcels, and also increasing growth through the joint development route. As we speak now, the order book for the Real Estate segment, that is where we have secured the flat purchases have happened, but we're yet to hand over, is in the range of INR 120 billion. And we have an unsold inventory of almost INR 40 billion for the near term.
So this will be, I think, over the next two to three years, this will get converted to revenues. But long and short, you could see an increased visibility of L&T Realty in terms of the overall perspective on the real estate sector in the regions or the locations that I spoke about. We also will continue to focus on select commercial property developments in some of these areas driven by the market demand. So it will be largely led by residential property development and interspersed with some commercial properties at some certain locations.
Perfect. That's helpful. Thank you, sir.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Bharanidhar V. from Avendus Spark. Please go ahead.
Yeah. Good evening, sir. Can you tell what is the total funding L&T did into Hyderabad Metro by way of both Equity and loss funding?
And how much of that are we getting through this deal? And how, from accounting point of view, this will have an impact on any one-off income or any such thing in the coming quarters?
Okay. So the total investment of L&T in Hyderabad Metro till date is in the range of INR 70 billion. Okay. And since as it is there in the public domain, in terms of the intent is, and Hyderabad Metro has a debt of almost INR 130 billion. Okay. Now, until now, the losses of the Hyderabad Metro, they are all factored in our consolidated financial results. Okay.
So if you see this time, if you have seen our advertisement, in the Standalone, which is the investment that we are carrying at INR 70 billion, we have now brought the investment to what we believe as a realizable value by tendering our stake to the Government of Telangana at INR 20 billion. And thereby, we have taken an impairment charge in Q2 of the current financial year in L&T standalone results. The fact is, insofar as the consolidated results go, the YTD cumulative losses of Hyderabad Metro is already adjusted against the INR 70 billion of our investment. And consequently, the Hyderabad net worth, share of net worth in our consolidated books is actually even lower than the current post-impaired value of INR 20 billion.
So technically speaking, tomorrow, if tomorrow we were to do the divestment, there could be a chance that the consolidated financial statements will actually possibly show a marginal credit in the P&L because the consolidated financial statements has a share of net worth [that] is almost INR 10 billion as compared to the restated value of INR 20 billion. Is that clear, Bharanidhar?
Yes, sir. So one question follow-up is that for the INR 7000 crore of book value or net worth that is reflected in Metro balance sheet, we are essentially realizing INR 2000 from the buyer?
Correct. So consequently, you see the impairment charge in the Standalone.
Okay. Fine. So, I will take up some follow-up in this later. My second question is on, say, our Indian domestic order inflow, while we are doing very well on the private side, the order inflow from state/central definitely is lower than what it was in the past. What is our outlook on that going forward? Is it that this set of customers likely to improve, or where do you see that going?
Okay. So one of the major reasons for the share of private sector order inflow going up in the recent, maybe last four or five quarters, is because of a higher amount of real estate transactions or real estate development, both commercial real estate, sorry, residential, data center development. All of this, we have seen a strong traction from the various developers, number one. Number two is, if you note that in the Q1 that we had reported, order inflows in domestic also included CarbonLite private sector orders that we secured. Okay.
And we do expect, as far as coal-based power plant ordering is concerned, you see, as is evident, that there is a lot of projects up in the pipeline, which is a mix of both state-owned or central public sector-owned project opportunities and also some of the major private sector power plant producers also set to expand their current power plants or new greenfield. So we do believe because of this increase or revival of the coal-based power plant equipment business, the share of private sector is actually gone up.
So I got that. My only question was areas like metros, bridges, all these things which used to be major parts, it seems to be slowing down. So that was my question. Meaning...
That is mostly on the government funded no. So we do have a sizable amount of opportunities as far as Central Government or State Government or Public Sector C orporation is concerned in the areas of Energy which comprises Hydel, Thermal that I spoke about, Nuclear. So the entire energy landscape is there. And we do see sizably large opportunities in the Transportation Infra in terms of Roads and Elevated Corridors. In fact, the order prospects that I communicated for Heavy Civil and Transportation Infra to the extent they are all domestic, they are largely all government projects only.
No, sir. I will take it up further later. Thank you so much.
T hank you. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure that the management is able to address questions from all participants, we request you to please limit your question to one per participant. If you have a follow-up question, you may rejoin the queue.
The next question is from the line of Shirom Kapur from Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Hi. Thank you for the opportunity. I just wanted to ask about your 34% growth in domestic orders this quarter. Could you highlight what drove this and what are some of the major orders that contributed here?
So the major orders that we secured on the domestic side is a pumped storage project that we secured from a private sector client, which is almost INR 35 billion, plus a whole lot of Residential and Commercial Real Estate orders that we have secured from private sector developers.
Noted. Thanks. And just if you could help break up the order prospects into domestic and international and within domestic, what the breakups would be across your segments?
So I guess, yes, I think we have been giving quite an articulate, granular detail.
But let me put it like this, that the total order prospects that we have given for domestic and international will stay put with it. We will see at an appropriate point of time. In case something is very major now for a particular subsegment, we will give the details at that point of time.
Okay. Got it. Thank you so much, sir, and all the best. Thank you.
The next question is from the line of Sumit Kishore from Axis Capital. Please go ahead.
Thanks for the opportunity. My question is in relation to the Hydrocarbon margins which were subdued and the explanation given around cost overruns in certain international and domestic jobs that are approaching completion.
So what were the reasons for the cost overrun on a generic basis, and how can we be sort of assured that going forward for a substantial international order book, some of these issues will not get repeated, so that's my question. Thank you.
Yeah. Again, this is Sarma, yeah, this is a bit of a pressing issue. I mean, we have in our portfolio a mixture of projects. Some of them are old legacy projects. Some of them are new projects, and some of them are, like I said, have new projects waiting to be awarded, so in this quarter and maybe for some time, I think we'll have some of these legacy projects are closing. I mean, some of these projects are large projects which have been running even during the pre-COVID time which was awarded.
So, I think as they close, there have been some cost overruns because of COVID. But definitely, there is a contractual entitlement for us. We will pursue those. But as per our internal policy, we don't recognize any entitlement unless it is approved. So, I think that will manifest maybe in the future at some point in time. But otherwise, going forward, the portfolio is quite reasonable. And in fact, the market is quite buoyant, and we are very selective. And our intention is to pick up jobs which will help us to realize better margin in the future.
So just to follow up. Yeah. The current southward movement in Energy margins is baked. I reiterate, is baked when you are given the guidance of eight and a half.
Very clear. So just to follow up here on margins, given the fixed price order backlog now would also be close to 50% of the order backlog, how would you think about the commodity price residual margins here for the order backlog?
Yeah. I mean, I think this question keeps coming up. But in general, we are in the business where we have fixed price models. And like I said, I think when we are bidding, we take a lot of care in terms of trying to have back-to-back contracts for construction, back-to-back contracts for major high-cost items in supply chain, and so that we have a reasonable sort of cover, I mean, risk mitigation on those items. And of course, we also have a strong treasury group which gives us a reasonable forecast on about how the commodity prices will move.
Based on that movement, based on that forecast, we also provide certain adequate provisions in terms of contingencies, commodity contingencies, specifically in our pricing. So I think broadly, we are covered unless we have a very, very unexpected situation like what happened in Ukraine-Russia war, which is something nobody could forecast. We kind of, yeah, built in that in our pricing.
Sure. Thank you.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Amit Anwani from PL Capital. Please go ahead.
Thank you for taking my question. So my question pertains to the strategic partnership with Bharat Electronics for AMCA. So here, it would be better to understand what role L&T will have in this joint venture and what is the long-term strategy. We understand that we have supplied wings and I think some other components for LCA in the past, and we have been doing that.
Wanted to understand, are we getting into full-fledged aircraft manufacturing in the future? Is there any capability which is required? Any investments required? Any thought and details on this joint venture consortium? Yeah.
So I will take that. So the Aeronautical Development Agency, which is the customer, is likely to shortlist the eligible bidders for the AMCA program based on the Expression of Interest where we also provided. This shortlist is expected in the current quarter, October to December 2025. Based on the shortlist, we expect the customer to issue the request for proposal, that is RFP, sometime in Q4 of the current financial year. And the announcement of the winner to build the prototype most likely is going to happen Q4 of the next financial year after the bidding process.
Now, in terms of the L&T Bharat Electronics JV for this particular program, essentially, the scope of the JV is to build the prototype airframe, jigs, fixtures, system integration, and the flight certification of the prototype. As of now, both L&T and BEL are equal partners in the JV, which is, it will be a separately incorporated company that will house this transaction in case the particular consortium becomes the winner, and in terms of how the work will be shared between L&T and the other partner will be finally assessed after we go through the entire details of the Request for Proposal. Our understanding is that the order for the prototype will be one single PO for the entire value.
And most likely, if it is awarded in the Q4 of the next financial year, then in terms of the prototype getting delivered, I think it's sometime in 2028, 2029. The test flight to happen in FY 2029, 2030, then followed by the user trials. So in terms of serial production, I guess we are still around eight or nine years away. Okay. I have given you quite a detailed perspective of this. Now, beyond this, I think I don't have anything to close.
Right. So for prototype, any investment which would be required once we get this order back Q4 next year, if at all this is coming to us?
So there are so many ifs and buts, so we should get the order in Q4, hopefully. So we will have to evaluate the scope based on the RFP scope. That time, we will be able to understand.
But since it is a prototype, usually the customer works with the JV, with the contractor, or in this case, the consortium, and ensure that there is no, the consortium will not suffer, in principle, any cash outflow. It is like a sort of a funded project.
Understood, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Atul Tiwari from J.P. Morgan. Please go ahead.
Yes. Another question on this BEL L&T consortium. So what kind of risk do you run? Suppose this is obviously a technically complex project, and if you get it, and in case there are unusual delays because of some technology challenge which is out of your control, so do you have to fund that over the next several years, or is there some kind of carve-out clause? Could you throw some light on that?
So Atul, it is like this. L&T in the past, with respect to the PES business, okay, we have engaged with the customer across the major other two forces that we usually deal with. In terms of when it comes to a prototype, it is usually cash neutral for the contractor like us. So that is the principle we believe will be followed when it comes to the AMCA program as well. But it is still early days because once the RFP is rolled out, then only we'll be able to clearly understand the outcome of the proposal. But given our past experience, usually prototypes have a zero cash implication because the customer, along with the contractor, in this case, the consortium, will jointly work to have a successful prototype done. So the customer also has a sort of, I would say, a skin in this whole transaction.
Okay, sir. And just to confirm, sir, you said that the eventual winner will be announced by fourth quarter of FY 2027.
That's our understanding as we speak now.
Okay. Okay. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Thanks.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Girish Achhipalia from Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.
So thanks for the opportunity. I wanted to just check with Mr. Sarma that we are almost doing $4.5-$5 billion worth of international projects last couple of quarters. The order prospect pipeline is also very strong. Wanted to understand, you've been with the company since 2016, I believe, and you've seen a lot of cycles up and down, a lot of contracts, competition. How do you think about the next couple of years in terms of different types of jobs that are coming through?
And wanted to understand the win rate typically that we've enjoyed in the last 12 months across, let's say, Infra and then within Hydrocarbon, Offshore versus Onshore, if you can just split that up. And also in the domestic opportunity, are you seeing any prospects on nuclear and how much of coal-based order pipeline is still left in the domestic side that could come through in the probably more medium term? Thanks.
What is it that can happen with the company since 2015, sir? Completely 10 years. Not 2016. Anyway, I think this has been, like you said, we had a good run over the last decade. The industry is cyclical, but I think what has happened is that our share of the market was not that good in the previous years.
We have established ourselves now as a major player, so we are able to access larger market share, larger market, so I think our ability to access larger projects, multi-billion-dollar projects, has now enhanced substantially over this decade, so therefore, our ability to continue to build a strong order pipeline has substantially increased over the last few years. Today, as you see, I mean, we are winning quite a few $3 billion, $4 billion-dollar projects, which was not the case earlier, so I am quite bullish. I think we will continue to have that market available to us, and we will bid in a disciplined way, and I think this run will continue for some more time, at least for the next two, three, four years. I mean, beyond that, I cannot predict, so all in all, I'm quite optimistic.
When it comes to domestic on the thermal power, the market is, like I said, has suddenly become very buoyant and very active because of two reasons. One is that the Renewable power round-the-clock availability has become a bit of an issue. So we need additional power, stable power generation to stabilize the grid. And two is that there is a general increase or forecast increase in the power demand because of the sudden acceleration of the AI and the data centers, which are going to consume a huge amount of power. So combination of that, I think there are a lot of plans coming up. It can be met through either thermal power or nuclear or other means. But I think thermal power becomes the most simplest and fastest solution. So we've seen significant uptake in that. We have picked up about 13.5 GW.
We are going ahead with expansion of our capacity, and we are gearing up for taking up additional maybe 10-15 GW in the next two-three years. That's how we see the market now.
So I think I told Girish that the order prospects pipeline for CarbonLite is almost INR 460 billion as of September.
Okay. Just one small follow-up. In international, I understand that the oil sensitivity to GDP for larger countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE is coming down. Is there a different approach that the customer is taking irrespective of whether he's in Infra or Offshore or Onshore versus the previous cycles? If you can qualitatively remark on how confident, or are you seeing closures happen at a faster clip, or is there a little lesser competition? I mean, what is driving the market shares higher?
So I think there were projects which were of different size, right? I mean, I think there were. Earlier we were able to compete in a segment which was less than $1 billion. So we had a different level of competition. Now, when we move up the ladder and then we are able to access multi-billion dollars, I think the level of competition and intensity of competition changes. I mean, I think now I believe that for larger jobs, we are better placed to win, and we have a reasonable win rate on those projects. I mean, many of these projects are very critical. I mean, some of them are like gas development projects. Many of these countries are committed to those projects. I don't expect too much of sensitivity to the current spot market prices. These are long-term views.
And next two, three years, I mean, at least I can talk about only two, three years. Beyond that, I cannot predict. I expect to see multiple projects. And our order book is so strong that we have almost three years of workflow in our hand. And if we pick up some projects in the next one year or so, we will have about almost more than three years of workflow. So I think that brings a lot of stability to our business.
Thank you so much, sir, and wish you and the team all the best. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Parikshit Kandpal from HDFC Securities. Please go ahead.
Yeah. Thanks for the opportunity. So my first question is on the margins.
So now with the share of international order book growing, so the thesis of improvement in margins from this P&L margins from FY 2026 and building over the next two years, does it get challenged somehow?
So Parikshit, this is P.R. As you know, we have a way of taking the margin guidance restricted to the year under question or under review. Okay? We'll get back to you in terms of how the margin uptake looks like in the subsequent periods. Having said this, I also refer to the improvement in infra margins is now slowly changing in terms of going into the positive trajectory, and we do expect that this particular momentum to continue in the future quarters. Okay?
Insofar as the softness in the margins for the Energy segment in the current six months is concerned, I did refer to this during the Q1 call that the softness in margins is going to be reflected in Hydrocarbon performance in the current year. Hopefully, by the time March 2025 gets over, many of these cost overruns in certain select jobs that we secured in the earlier years will all get into, they're all in the final stage of execution, which is also baked in our revenue and margin guidance, so we do also expect that margins in the subsequent periods to improve. Now, to what extent improvement will happen, we will communicate that once we close March 2026 and give the guidance for the next year.
Okay, so the second question is on Hyderabad Metro. So now you said that 2100 is somewhere where it's settled.
So is this a cash inflow, and is it adjusted for the INR 900 crores of the support which we have received from the Hyderabad Metro? So basically, I want to understand how will this be a cash item or a non-cash item from the government side? And what will be the quantum likely?
So as we understand basis the discussion that have happened, L&T will get a cash consideration against tendering its 100% equity stake in the Metro SPV to the particular vehicle which the Government of Telangana will propose as the buyer. And L&T should be getting cash. That's the understanding. And this has got nothing to do with the INR 900 crore that the SPV received as part of the soft loan assistance. So that loan has already got is residing in the SPV as an interest-free long-term debt.
What we are talking about is L&T exiting its entire or divesting its entire exposure in the Metro SPV to the Government of Telangana. So the SPV debt of INR 13,000 crores will be taken by the buyer as the new equity shareholder when they take the stake, when they purchase the stake from L&T. And that consideration, as we speak now, is in cash.
So INR 2,100 you receive in cash? So net-net?
I did not tell a number. I said around 20, 21, 22 billion or 2,000 crores.
Okay. Okay. Just the last thing, on the NWC, last quarter you highlighted that because of the water receivables, there was a negative impact on NWC of about 75 basis points because there was delay in receivables collections on the water side.
So if you can quantify in this quarter 10.2% NWC, so how much better it would have been if the water receivables would have come on time?
So I will not. Okay, let me put it like this. The fact is that we have slowed down execution also means that the position of the segment remains as the same as it was in June. Okay? Wherever the projects are getting executed in that segment, when we are getting paid, that execution happens. But let me tell you, when we talk about 10.2 as the working capital at the group level, the share of projects and manufacturing working capital is 7.8.
Okay. Sure. Thank you, sir.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Renu Baid from IIFL Capital Services. Please go ahead.
Yeah. Hi. Good evening, team. Just a couple of bookkeeping quick questions.
On the power equipment thermal portfolio, you mentioned that we are targeting 10-15 GW incrementally ordered in the next couple of years. So given the order book that we have, at what utilization levels are we working through? And do you see that the market today with the existing only two domestic vendors is stretched in terms of supply? And Chinese BTG equipment manufacturers are probably getting the feedback in the market?
No. I think the government has taken stock, and both us and BHEL are working on expanding the capacity. Chinese equipment is not something which is preferred. And we have given even six months back before these awards came, we had given a Commitment to the Ministry that we will enhance our capacity to almost 560 GW. We are looking at even further expanding this in the next six to nine months' time.
So between us and the other supplier, which is BHEL, we believe that we should be able to handle this. The timelines are a little longer, which is acceptable to most of the PPP developers. So I don't expect Chinese products to come in. It will be between us and the other Indian manufacturer.
Got it. And second, just to clarify, broadly said, whatever we understand of the Hyderabad Metro at the consolidated level, net of all the losses, etc., that you have booked is close to about INR 10 billion at the end of first half. So incrementally, even if at a standalone level, the book value is being brought down to investment value has been brought down to INR 20 billion. On a consolidated basis, we still would be having net positive impact on the transfer of or on the receipt of the cash consideration.
So Renu, I think I responded to this as an answer to the previous question. So it is like this. Let me put it like this. In the standalone, the Hyderabad Metro is valued at INR 20 billion. In the consolidated, it is valued because the original investment of INR 70 billion has taken all the losses YTD. So in the consolidated, it is around INR 10 billion. Now, if we were to do the divestment today, the standalone further, there will be no profit, no loss because you are getting cash against the INR 20 billion that you have restated. And in the consolidated, you will have the gain because obviously, you are getting value at 20 as compared to the value that you hold at 10.
True. And the debt or whatever has been divided?
It is residing in the SPV. So one of the fundamental attributes to this transaction or understanding is the vehicle which the Government of Telangana will propose, the buying vehicle, will take over the complete debt as it is, which is today around INR 130 billion.
So on top of this, the L&T support in debt format to the SPV would be how much at the end of first half?
So the entire debt, the debt comprises of roughly order of magnitude INR 80 billion in terms of medium-term Non-Convertible Debentures and a Commercial Paper portfolio of the balance, I would say INR 40 billion-INR 50 billion adjusted for the movement that will happen. So the debt is having a guarantee of the parent. So the fact is when the debt moves in, the guarantees all fall off. So there will be no further recourse after the transaction is consummated.
There will be no recourse on L&T as far as Hyderabad Metro operations is concerned.
So technically, it will be completely out of the asset by the end of fiscal 2026 once the transaction is closed?
That's the target.
And will we continue to have any O&M responsibilities with the asset or be completely out?
The Metro itself has an O&M contractor which is doing the operation maintenance. The understanding is we will have no further obligation, right, or any sort of indemnity post-transaction.
Perfect. Perfect. Thanks much, team. Thank you.
T hank you. The next question is from the line of Priyankar Biswas from JM Financial. Please go ahead.
Thanks for the opportunity. One very quick question from my side. Earlier, almost like five, six years back, we used to talk about landing platform docks as an opportunity in defense.
So recently, there has been some approvals and movement regarding that. So are we considering LPDs in our prospects? I mean, is this year or maybe the next? So there's a first.
It does not feature in the current prospects, but once that opportunity comes, when it is in the position to get bid, it will get added.
Okay. So it's like a potential that maybe they're potentially, let's say, next year or the year after that somewhere, whenever it comes up. So that would be...
Whenever it comes. At this juncture, don't ask me timelines because it's not yet come into. It does not feature in our current order prospects.
There's one more question that I have because there was a mention of Green Ammonia Project in Kandla. So is there more such projects that are planned by L&T?
And if so, how should we look at the CapEx that may be required, and what is the business economics for it?
So you're referring to the joint development opportunity for the Green Ammonia Project with ITOCHU, right? Are you referring to that? That's the one we are looking. We had actually put it in the public domain. So would you like to comment on that?
Yeah. That's no problem. So that project is under evaluation, and we will go through the process. And once we work out the economics, and then we'll have discussion with ITOCHU. And I think for all these development projects, we have a very standard. We have a financial matrix in terms of return on investment, IRR, project IRR, etc . So we will not pursue any of those projects unless it meets those criteria.
So I think that applies to the ITOCHU and any other future potential opportunities. I mean, there are a few which we are discussing both in domestic and international customers. A bit too early to sort of specify those prospects, but as a principle, I think the process will be the same. We'll engage with the customers, we'll have an MOU, and we'll go through the process, and we'll evaluate. And if they meet the IRR criteria and the risk criteria, then we'll go ahead. Otherwise, we will not.
Thank you. Thank you, sir. And just one more thing. You had already provided a detailed answer regarding Middle East oil in earlier questions. My question right now is more on the Middle East renewables and, let's say, T&D for that matter.
So can you shed some light on what sort of, let's say, market shares we have in, let's say, the GCC renewables space and T&D? And how do you see the order prospects similarly for this, let's say, two, three years down the line?
We are one of the largest EPC contractors in the Renewable sector. I think the projects we have in the portfolio are sometimes, I mean, most of them are very iconic and are being done for very large customers like ACWA and Masdar and UAE. Our performance in these projects has been pretty good. Some of the projects we have executed ahead of time, and the customer is extremely happy, and they want to engage us more and more. And I'm quite optimistic again on this sector as well.
In fact, the success of our renewables opportunity, starting with KSA, we are extending the relationship across as we move with Tashkent.
Yeah. We have gone to Tashkent also. So I think currently it is a good story. Yeah.
Thank you. So can you give some light on gigawatt size opportunities? What is the size of the KSA market? What do you...
They have about 18 GW, and maybe there will be another 15 GW of opportunities in the next two years.
Okay, sir. That's all from my side. Thank you.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, due to time constraints, that was the last question for today. I now hand the conference over to Mr. P. Ramakrishnan for closing comments.
Okay. So thank you, everyone, for taking this call. It was a pleasure to interact with all of you. Good luck and wishing you all the very best. Thank you.
Thank you. On behalf of Larsen & Toubro, that concludes this conference. Thank you for joining us, and you may now disconnect too.
