Behind L&T's Hi-Tech Fame
Starting off in 1938 primarily as a brick-and-mortar entity, L&T has over the decades metamorphosed into a globally recognised hi-tech EPC, manufacturing and services conglomerate.
Apart from the technological innovations that it has incorporated into conventional construction and manufacturing practices, L&T has reached the hi-tech echelons largely due to its R&D prowess in the engineering and technology space. And L&T Technology Services (LTTS) is the entity that has given a global expression to this prowess.
