In 1938, Larsen and Toubro (L&T) was founded in Mumbai by Henning Holck-Larsen and Søren Kristian Toubro, two Danish engineers who were working there at the time. Their early efforts focused on manufacturing dairy equipment but as the company grew, so did its reach. By 1944, the partners incorporated ECC today, which is the primary construction division of L&T to this day.
L&T is an industry leader in construction and engineering, as well as technology, manufacturing and financial services. Primary areas of focus are hydrocarbon, infrastructure, power, process industries and defence.
Last year the company was awarded the Best Capital Projects & Infrastructure Risk Management Award. One of L&T’s biggest projects is the Mumbai Monorail.
