L&T unit secures ₹5,000-crore Jharkhand thermal power contract

L&T Energy CarbonLite Solutions, a subsidiary of engineering conglomerate Larsen & Toubro, has been awarded the main plant package for the Chandrapura thermal power project in Jharkhand, valued at over ₹5,000 crore. The company has received a limited notice to proceed, paving the way for execution of this major power generation infrastructure initiative.

The 1,600 megawatt thermal power station represents a substantial investment in the state's energy infrastructure. The project is positioned to enhance power generation capacity in Jharkhand, a region with significant coal reserves and established thermal power operations.

L&T Energy CarbonLite Solutions brings specialized expertise in power plant engineering and construction to the Chandrapura project. The limited notice to proceed allows the firm to commence preliminary activities and mobilize resources ahead of full project execution.

The contract award underscores continued investment in conventional thermal power generation alongside India's renewable energy transition. Chandrapura's location in Jharkhand's established industrial corridor provides strategic advantages for the power project's development and operational efficiency.
