Larsen & Toubro (L&T) said that the renewables arm of its power transmission and distribution (PT&D) business has bagged a turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for setting up a 112.5MW solar power plant in West Bengal.

The solar power plant will be built in the south-western part of the state.

According to Larsen & Toubro, the state undertaking, which is executing the solar power project with a foreign development bank’s financing, has awarded the EPC package on an international competitive bidding basis.
