L&T Share Price in Focus; Wins Major Orders for Dhaka Metro Line 1

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has won two major contracts for Dhaka Metro Line 1 in Bangladesh. The work covers the track, electrical and signalling systems needed for the country’s first underground metro project, as per the exchange filing. 

The orders come from Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited and build on L&T’s earlier work on Dhaka Metro Line 6, which is already running commercially. 

What the Contracts Cover? 

The first contract covers track works and electrical systems, including power supply, traction substations and overhead catenary systems. L&T will carry out this work with its Japanese partner, Sumitomo Corporation. 

The second contract covers signalling, telecommunications and platform screen doors across the Line 1 network. Together, the two packages will provide key systems needed to operate the metro safely and reliably. 

A 31-Km Metro Corridor
