L&T Construction wins orders worth Rs1,600cr

The Power Transmission & Distribution Business of L&T Construction has bagged orders worth Rs1,600cr for various projects as follows:

• It has secured an order from the Saudi Electricity Company for construction of 380kV Double Circuit Overhead Transmission Line between Qassim - 2 and Madina East Bulk Supply Point Substations. This is one of the longest lines in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a route length of more than 400 km.
• In UAE, orders have been won for design, supply , installation , testing and commissioning of three 132/11kV Substations and associated works, one each from Dubai Electricity ft Water Authority, Shamal Development LLC and Meraas Development LLC.
• In the domestic market, the business has secured a major order for EPC construction of 250MW (AC) solar plant in Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh.

These order wins would improve its order book and give it revenue visibility going ahead. We believe divestment of non-core assets and acceleration in domestic execution would act as growth drivers for L&T. Improvement in profitability of high margin capex oriented businesses bodes well for L&T’s earnings profile. We expect 15% earnings CAGR over FY17-20E. The stock trades at ~19.5x FY20E earnings. We have positive outlook on the stock.
Larsen & Toubro Ltd is currently trading at Rs1,255.15, down by Rs3.45 or 0.27% from its previous closing of Rs1,258.6 on the BSE.

The scrip opened at Rs1,256 and has touched a high and low of Rs1,265 and Rs1,253, respectively.
