L&T, an Indian multinational conglomerate engaged in technology, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and financial services with $21 billion in revenue, is a platinum sponsor of this three-day event which has over 1200 exhibitors from 55 countries.
“Over the years, WETEX has been an ideal platform for us to showcase our capabilities and track record, build partnerships, review the latest technologies, innovations and benefit from one of the best global experiences in the energy and water sectors,” said Mr. T Madhava Das, Whole Time Director & Senior Executive Vice President (Utilities), Larsen & Toubro. “While our power transmission & distribution business vertical has already established its credentials in the Middle East, our water infrastructure business is gradually gaining prominence having executed some key infrastructure projects including the Jebel Ali Sewerage Treatment Plant for the Dubai Municipality here in Dubai,” he added.
Ranked among the top global contractors, L&T Construction, the construction arm of L&T, is also India’s largest construction organization offering EPC solutions with single-source responsibility to execute large industrial and infrastructure projects from concept to commissioning.

L&T’s power transmission & distribution business: a force to reckon with across geographies

“Most GCC countries are increasingly tapping into ‘green sources’ to bridge the power gap with smarter and more secure solutions to enhance reliability and effectively manage power distribution. “This calls for strengthening power grids with greater adoption of gas insulated substations and extra high voltage transmission lines which open new vistas of opportunity to develop new infrastructure. L&T is well-placed on this front with strong associations with different entities in the Middle East,” Madhava Das added.
