LOOKING UP - L&T
Article Abstract:
Larsen and Toubro (L&T), an engineering, construction and cement company, has gained the attention of the market when L&T acquired a majority stake in Narmada Cement. The acquisition will enable L&T to get a footing in the western region and enter into the southern markets. L&T can consider the amalgamation of Narmada Cement with itself, as L&T is well diversified and is financially strong. The amalgamation will help Narmada Cement access the funds required for meeting its future expansions. The profitability of both L&T and Narmada Cement is likely to increase as the prices of cement were better in Gujarat and Mumbai. The performance of L&T is likely to be good as it has a backlog of Rs6,500 crore orders and is managing orders worth Rs2,500 crore. Currently, L&T has a total capacity of 10 million tonnes per annum.
