Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has inked a significant deal with Adani Power, India’s largest private thermal power producer, to construct eight ultra-mega thermal power units. Each unit will boast an 800MW capacity, collectively adding 6.4GW to India’s power generation portfolio. The contract, secured by L&T Energy – CarbonLite Solutions (LTECLS), encompasses the full spectrum of project execution, from design and engineering to commissioning of boiler-turbine-generator packages and associated systems.
Adani Power, already a major player with over 18GW of installed capacity, is poised to further bolster India’s baseload electricity supply. LTECLS, with its robust in-house capabilities and global partnerships, aims to deliver cutting-edge solutions for power generation and low-carbon processes. This collaboration underscores the growing demand for reliable and affordable power in India’s evolving energy landscape.
L&T deputy managing director and president, Mr. Subramanian Sarma, highlighted the strategic importance of this project, stating, “In today’s dynamic energy landscape, where India’s demand for reliable and affordable power continues to grow, this order from the Adani Group reinforces our role as a leading partner in building the country’s critical energy infrastructure.”
This development comes on the heels of Adani Power’s recent activities, including a letter of intent issued in August 2025 to supply 2,274MW of electricity to Bihar and the acquisition of Vidarbha Industries Power Limited in July 2025 for Rs40bn ($466m). These moves signal Adani Power’s aggressive expansion strategy and its commitment to meeting India’s burgeoning energy needs.
The sector is witnessing a shift towards larger, more efficient power plants, and this project exemplifies that trend. The integration of advanced technologies and the focus on ultra-mega capacities could set new benchmarks for thermal power generation in India. As the country strives to balance energy demand with sustainability, such initiatives will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of its power sector.
