The scope of the order extends beyond the battery storage facilities. It also includes grid interconnections, including pooling substations and underground cables. L&T said the BESS solution will incorporate liquid-cooling technology, which is intended to support higher power density, safety and operational life.

The projects are aimed at supporting renewable-energy integration and grid modernisation in the Middle East. L&T highlighted the requirements associated with the projects, including plant performance, workforce mobilisation, safety, quality and adherence to project timelines. The company said the order reflects client confidence in its engineering and project-management capabilities.

For L&T’s Renewables business, the order adds to its presence in the energy storage and grid-infrastructure segment. However, the company has not disclosed the project’s execution period, specific location, client name or the expected revenue contribution from the order. Accordingly, these details should not be estimated from the announcement.

The order also includes associated grid-interconnection infrastructure. While the exact contract value and execution timeline have not been disclosed, the classification places the order in L&T’s stated ₹5,000 crore–₹10,000 crore Major order category.
