Larsen and Toubro also known as L&T is also one of the most reliable and the strongest multinational conglomerates in India. L&T has been in the frontline when it comes to large scale infrastructural works, engineering excellence, defence manufacture and high-end services. The company with over eight decades of history still makes a significant contribution to nation-building and grows its presence worldwide.
Company Overview
L&T engages in engineering, construction, manufacturing, IT services, defence, power, and financial services. Its projects include iconic temples and stadiums as well as nuclear reactors, metro and space technology.

Who Owns Larsen & Toubro?
L&T is a publicly traded company hence does not belong to one owner. Rather, the company is owned by the shareholders as a whole. The institutional investors who are major shareholders include the foreign portfolio investors, domestic mutual funds, insurance companies like LIC, and the L&T Employees Trust. This diversified ownership structure guarantees good corporate governance and long term stability.
Who Leads Larsen & Toubro?
N. Subrahmany is the Chairman and Managing Director of Larsen and Toubro. In October 2023, he assumed the position of Chairman and has worked as CEO and MD since 2017. L&T has taken a proactive global strategy in defence production, renewable energy, and digital services and clinched world-record international contracts under his leadership.
Net Worth and Market Capitalization
As at March 2025, L&T disclosed that its equity net worth was approximately ₹976.56 billion, which is a good balance sheet and performance of the business. This firm had an approximate market capitalization value of ₹5.6 trillion by December 2025 and is rated as one of the most valuable and powerful companies in India. Its ₹4 billion QatarEnergy LNG order is an all-time record contract of L&T.
Why Larsen & Toubro Stands Out
The advantages that render L&T unique are its unsurpassed execution capability, diversified business model and focus on high-impact areas. The company is timely with the delivery of complex projects, invests a lot in the innovation and has good ESG values. In defence systems, space launch vehicles, smart infrastructure, global EPCs, and more, L&T keeps defining the future of Indian industry, competing on the global scale.
