L&T Wins ₹5,000-10,000 Crore BESS Order in West Asia

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is in focus after its Renewables business secured a major order from a notable client in the Middle East for three Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects. The projects have a combined storage capacity of 6 gigawatt-hours and will include associated grid infrastructure.

According to the company’s order classification, major orders are valued between ₹5,000 crore and ₹10,000 crore. The development further expands L&T’s presence in the energy storage segment, with the company positioning itself as an EPC player in the growing BESS sector.

What are the key details of the L&T BESS order?

The three projects will each feature a four-hour BESS system designed to store and dispatch energy. The systems will support grid stability and renewable energy integration by enabling surplus clean energy generated during off-peak periods to be stored and supplied during peak demand hours.

The scope of the projects extends beyond the storage facilities and includes grid interconnections. Key components include:

• Three BESS projects with a combined storage capacity of 6 GWh

• Four-hour BESS systems for each project

• Pooling substations

• Underground cables

• Grid interconnection infrastructure

• Liquid cooling technology for the BESS solution

The liquid cooling technology is expected to provide higher power density, enhanced safety and extended operational life, according to L&T.

Why is the BESS project important for L&T?

The projects involve stringent requirements related to plant performance, workforce mobilisation, safety, quality and timelines. L&T said the order reflects the trust and confidence placed by clients in its engineering and project management capabilities.

The company also said the projects contribute to grid modernisation and renewable energy integration across the Middle East. The ability to store surplus renewable power and dispatch it during peak demand supports the shifting of energy availability across different periods.

The order therefore adds to L&T’s activity in the energy storage space while combining BESS deployment with associated grid infrastructure.

How did L&T shares react?

L&T shares were trading at around ₹4,108.35 at the time of reporting on August 25, 2026, up ₹23.05 or 0.56% from the previous close of ₹4,085.30 per share.

As of August 25, L&T’s market capitalization stood at ₹5,65,480.96 crore, according to BSE.

The BESS order comes after L&T also announced a separate gas compression facilities project for a major client in West Asia. The project involves EPC of gas compression plants along with gas inlet facilities, compression systems, condensate and produced water handling systems, propane refrigeration systems and related utilities. 

L&T’s Power Transmission & Distribution business will execute two 230 kV extra-high-voltage substations for the power requirements of those plants.

Conclusion: What does this mean for investors?

The latest BESS order adds another major Middle East project to L&T’s renewable energy business, with three projects collectively contributing 6 GWh of storage capacity. For investors tracking L&T shares, the key developments to monitor are the execution of these projects, the associated grid infrastructure work and the company’s continued order activity in the region.
