Larsen & Toubro’s Heavy Civil Infrastructure business has secured a large contract from Torrent Energy Storage Solutions Pvt Ltd for the 3,000 MW Saidongar-1 Pumped Storage Project in Raigad, Maharashtra, marking India’s biggest pumped storage project to date. The contract, classified by L&T as “Large” with a value ranging between ₹2,500 crore and ₹5,000 crore, further strengthens the company’s position in large-scale pumped storage solutions.
Under the contract, L&T will undertake the design, engineering and execution of all civil and hydro-mechanical works for the project, which comprises ten units of 300 MW each. The Saidongar-1 PSP is being developed by Torrent Energy Storage Solutions Pvt Ltd, earlier known as Torrent PSH 3 Pvt Ltd.
The project is expected to play a critical role in strengthening grid reliability and energy security in Maharashtra by enabling large-scale energy storage and flexible power generation. Pumped storage projects such as Saidongar-1 help balance electricity supply and demand by storing surplus energy during off-peak periods and releasing it during peak demand, while also supporting India’s long-term decarbonisation goals.
The contract further reinforces L&T’s position as a key partner for high-capacity pumped storage and complex hydro infrastructure projects, backed by its track record in engineering excellence, timely execution and safety standards.
Larsen & Toubro is a USD 30 billion Indian multinational engaged in EPC projects, hi-tech manufacturing and services across multiple geographies. With over eight decades of operations, the company continues to maintain leadership across its core businesses through a strong customer-focused approach and emphasis on quality.
