India turns net exporter of finished steel in FY26 Global scrap market faces tighter supply pressure Indian steelmakers urged to act on decarbonisation Royal Steel eyes global demand for structural steel
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured a significant domestic metals-sector order from SAIL (and other customers), awarded to L&T’s Minerals & Metals (M&M) business, reinforcing its role in India’s steel plant build-out.
A key component is SAIL’s IISCO Steel Plant (Burnpur, West Bengal) expansion, where crude steel capacity is planned to rise from 2.5 MTPA to 6.5 MTPA. For this programme, L&T has been awarded the complete engineering, procurement and installation (EPI) package for several core units, including a Coke Oven Battery, By-Product Plant, Basic Oxygen Furnace, and a specialised material-handling equipment package.
In parallel, SAIL’s Bokaro Steel Plant (Jharkhand) is undertaking an upstream expansion, and L&T has won a key package to set up Sinter Plant #2.
L&T also noted additional wins for stacker reclaimers and wagon tipplers from other clients, signalling wider demand for bulk material-handling systems across India’s metals value chain. Senior L&T executives highlighted the long-standing L&T–SAIL partnership and emphasised execution capability, safety and sustainability focus.
