Revenue from operations also grew strongly to Rs 74,392.28 crore, compared to Rs 67,078.68 crore in the year-ago period. This jump was supported by good business performance across sectors and an exceptional one-time gain.

Strong Annual Performance

For the full financial year (FY25), L&T posted a consolidated PAT of Rs 15,037 crore, a 15 per cent growth compared to the previous year. The total PAT includes a special gain of Rs 475 crore, after tax, from the partial reversal of an old provision related to its joint venture — L&T Special Steels and Heavy Forgings (LTSSHF).

Management Comments
