Larsen & Toubro scores a major offshore engineering win from ONGC that strengthens India’s west coast energy push.
This latest order positions L&T’s energy hydrocarbon offshore unit at the heart of fresh development work off the western shoreline.
The company lands a large contract valued between Rs 2,500 crore and Rs 5,000 crore for the Additional Development of Ratna-I and NLM-14 projects.
The deal covers full engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of new platforms and pipelines.
It signals ONGC’s steady push to lift output from mature fields while L&T expands its decades-long expertise in complex offshore execution.
L&T’s energy hydrocarbon offshore business takes on the full EPCIC responsibility for these additional development projects. The company designs and builds the new infrastructure while integrating changes into already operating installations.
This combination demands precise engineering across fresh and brownfield sites. Parthasarathi Chatterjee, senior vice president and head of L&T Energy Hydrocarbon Offshore, notes that the ADR-I and NLM-14 developments add significant capacity to India’s offshore energy infrastructure.
He points out that the projects show continued investment in boosting production from established assets. The work requires seamless integration between new facilities and existing fields.

The order includes three new well-head platforms and a riser platform. It also covers multiple segments of subsea pipelines and cables. L&T performs brownfield modifications on current offshore installations. Together, these elements support higher output from the western offshore basin.
ONGC keeps investing in its offshore assets to sustain production levels while it expands the supporting infrastructure. L&T brings four decades of experience in fixed platforms, subsea structures, brownfield upgrades and related assignments to deliver the package.
This win reinforces L&T’s position as a key partner for ONGC’s west coast plans. The company executes the complete chain from engineering through commissioning. The projects blend new construction with modifications, which tests the firm’s ability to manage complex interfaces under operating field conditions.
Chatterjee highlights that such integration across brownfield and new development work forms core strength. For ONGC, the order continues a clear strategy of enhancing output from mature assets rather than relying solely on new discoveries. L&T’s offshore unit turns this strategy into concrete platforms and pipelines that can deliver results on the ground.
The announcement arrives as L&T shares move up by Rs 37.25 or 0.94 per cent to Rs 3,997.25 on the BSE. The market reaction reflects confidence in the company’s ability to convert large offshore orders into execution success.
Overall, the contract underscores how L&T’s specialized offshore capabilities align with ONGC’s drive to maintain and grow production from India’s western offshore fields through targeted additional development.
