Mumbai, June 24 (IANS) Construction and engineering major Larsen and Toubro (L&T;) Friday said its construction division has bagged orders worth Rs.1,610 crore from Tata Steel Ltd, India Bulls Ltd and other firms during the first quarter of this fiscal.

“A major portion of these orders pertain to Kalinga Nagar project of Tata Steel in Orissa,” the L&T; said in a regulatory filing.

Tata Steel is setting up four new coke oven batteries each of 0.75 million tonne per annum (mtpa) capacity. Apart from constructing the entire coke oven and by-product plants, L&T; is also providing detailed engineering and supply of balance of plant.

The company has embarked upon a challenging schedule of constructing the first battery in less than two and a half years against industry average of three years.

This is L&T;’s third project in the coke oven construction business which has very few players. It is already constructing a coke oven complex for Tata Steel’s Jamshedpur works and another coke oven complex for Bhushan steel’s Meramandali, Orissa, works.

The company has also bagged an order worth Rs.240 crore from India Bulls Power Ltd for civil and structural works of coke handling plants and ash handling plant for Amravati and Nashik thermal projects in Maharastra. The project has to be completed in 23 months.

At the Bombay Stock Exchange, the shares of L&T; were up 2.14 percent to trade at Rs.1,703.90.
