Larsen & Toubro has secured orders for two key systems packages for the Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit Development Project in Bangladesh. The company classifies these orders for the Dhaka Metro as major, falling within the range of ₹5,000 crore to ₹10,000 crore. These contracts cover track works, electrical systems, signalling, and telecommunications.
The Transportation Infrastructure business vertical of the company will execute Contract Package CP09 and Contract Package CP10. These packages involve track works, electrical systems, signalling, telecommunications, and platform screen doors for the first underground metro project in the country.

This infrastructure connects Kamalapur to the Airport and Natun Bazar to Purbachal Terminal, encompassing 19 stations and a depot at Pitalganj.
Larsen & Toubro previously delivered the integrated railway systems package for Dhaka Metro Line 6, which is currently operational. The company stated that these two new packages form the core operational systems for Line 1. The project aims to provide an urban transit solution for the residents of Dhaka. Larsen & Toubro operates across various domains including engineering, procurement, and construction projects, as well as high-tech manufacturing and services.
