operations by digitising data, thus laying
a solid foundation for deeper digital
integration.
Building on this momentum, L&T has
initiated a structured Artificial Intelligence
journey, assembling a team of specialists
to harness AI across business functions.
This initiative led to the launch of L&T
Cognitive Services (L&TCS) — a unified,
enterprise-grade AI platform tailored
to serve the diverse needs across the
L&T Group. By embedding advanced AI
technologies, L&TCS enhances automation
through predictive and prescriptive
analytics, providing data-driven insights
that support strategic decision-making and
accelerate innovation.
Designed for scalability and impact,
L&TCS focuses on improving outcomes
in areas such as quality, safety, revenue,
time efficiency, inventory management,
manpower optimisation and cost reduction
— ultimately driving a robust return on
investment. The platform underscores our
commitment to ongoing innovation and
to staying at the forefront of emerging
technologies.
Another major milestone has been the
establishment of Digital Energy Solutions
(DES) within the Power Transmission &
Distribution business. DES offers end-to-end electricity-related consulting
and digital services globally through
a comprehensive suite of proprietary
software solutions. These include planning,
design, consulting and operational support
for renewable energy integration, hybrid
energy management systems, substation
and control room automation, grid-edge
solutions for distributed energy sources
and power system cybersecurity. Powered
by sophisticated algorithms and simulation
tools, DES enables clients across India, the
Middle East and the United States to build
resilient, future-ready power infrastructure.
Additionally, the Cybersecurity Council
plays a pivotal role in strengthening our
digital ecosystem. This initiative promotes
collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a
unified framework for data protection,
reinforcing our capability to mitigate
cybersecurity risks effectively.
(b) Building Climate Resilience and
Advancing the Green Business Agenda
The increasing frequency and intensity of
extreme weather events have significantly
elevated the risks of asset damage and
service disruptions. In response, your
Company is uniquely positioned to meet
the rising demand for disaster-resilient
infrastructure, backed by deep expertise
in Clean Energy, Clean Mobility, Water
and Sanitation, Green Infrastructure, and
other sustainability-linked domains. These
solutions not only help lower carbon
emissions and improve air quality, but
also enhance energy efficiency, water
recycling and reuse, and overall resource
conservation. Together, these integrated
offerings form what we define as our
‘Green Business’.
L&T has taken bold strides into emerging
clean energy segments, particularly in
Green Hydrogen and its derivatives,
as well as the development of Small
Modular Reactors (SMRs). Electrolyser
manufacturing is already underway,
reinforcing our early-mover advantage in
the Green Hydrogen space. A significant
milestone during the year was the
regulatory approval granted by the US
Department of Energy for the transfer of
SMR technology to India. L&T was one of
only three Indian companies selected for
this transfer, signalling the formal start
of our SMR journey and positioning us
to lead the commercialisation of nuclear
energy in the country.
In both Green Hydrogen and SMRs,
the initial phase involves strategic
collaborations with global technology
partners. However, our long-term
vision is clear: to indigenously develop
proprietary technology, manufacture
critical equipment, and offer cost-effective,
innovative solutions tailored for emerging
markets. With land secured on the west
coast (Kandla, Gujarat) for manufacturing
units dedicated to Green Hydrogen and
Green
Ammonia,
L&T will
invest
proactively
to serve
a broader global geography. Furthermore, we are
fully equipped to execute EPC projects in
Green Hydrogen, Green Ammonia and
Methanol for clients across sectors.
To further sharpen its strategic direction in
clean energy, L&T has instituted the L&T
Green Energy Council — a distinguished
think tank of global domain experts.
The Council actively tracks technological
trends, assesses policy landscapes and
evaluates emerging business models.
It also provides strategic guidance on
potential collaborations with both Indian
and international players, accelerating
L&T’s progress in green energy innovation.
As part of our expanding green
infrastructure portfolio, L&T continues to
deliver green buildings certified by LEED,
IGBC and GRIHA standards. In FY 2024–25
alone, the Company developed 15.6
million sq.ft. of green-certified building
space, bringing the cumulative total to
57.6 million sq.ft. over the last six years.
In the renewable energy domain, L&T
commissioned 4.3 GWp of solar capacity
during the year. Our total renewable
energy portfolio now stands at 26.9 GWp,
including 6.9 GWp commissioned capacity
and an active construction pipeline of
20 GWp of solar and wind projects. In addition, we are currently executing 12.8
GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems
(BESS), reinforcing our position as a key
player in next-generation energy solutions.
On the clean mobility front, L&T
completed the electrification of 419 track
km in railway and mass transit systems in
FY 2024–25. The Company is also actively
involved in the production of equipment
for renewable diesel, biofuels and
emission control technologies, all of which
contribute to the reduction of carbon
emissions.
Through these comprehensive initiatives,
L&T is not just responding to the climate
