The power T&D business has secured a 500kV transmission line project in the Philippines, to be executed along with an onshore partner, that will form part of the transmission backbone to meet the growing demand for electricity in the western parts of Luzon, Philippines
Views: L&T remains the best way to play the capex recovery theme in India given its strong execution capability, presence across diverse sectors and geographies which makes it less vulnerable during down cycles. Reducing debt makes it an attractive portfolio bet to ride the infrastructure and manufacturing cycle revival theme
Impact: Positive
