Larsen & Toubro wins Dhaka Metro Line 1 track, power and signalling orders

The orders in numbers

Scope of the two packages

Under CP09, L&T will undertake with Sumitomo Corporation the design, procurement, installation, testing and commissioning of the track works, power supply and distribution system, traction substations, overhead catenary system and associated electrical facilities across the corridor. Under CP10, L&T will execute the signalling, telecommunication and platform screen door work for the entire network.

The company says the two packages form the core operational systems of Dhaka Metro Line 1.

Repeat work for the same client

The company says the orders are repeat orders from DMTCL and that it previously won and delivered the integrated railway systems package for Dhaka Metro Line 6, which is in commercial operation. The company also says its Transportation Infrastructure vertical is working on the Jakarta Metro, which is under execution.

Against the group's latest quarter, total income of ₹70,318.47 crore for Q1 FY27 on a consolidated basis, the order classed as Major is a single contract band rather than a sum the filing states.

What the filing leaves open

The filing gives a classification range, not the value of the orders, and does not state the rupee amount, the execution period or the date the orders were awarded.

What the Dhaka Metro orders mean for Larsen & Toubro's shareholders

The orders add two Design & Build packages on a metro line in Bangladesh to the company's transport business. The company's own classification places them in the Major band of ₹5,000 crore to ₹10,000 crore, against a market value of ₹5,06,276 crore at the 26 Oct 2026 close.

Not stated in the filing: the exact order value, the share of the orders in the order book, the execution deadline and how L&T's share of CP09 with Sumitomo Corporation is split. The filing does not give a next dated step.
