Throughout the reporting quarter, orders were received across various sectors, including public spaces, nuclear power, and the irrigation, ferrous metal, health, renewables, and refinery sectors, as stated in a company press release.

International orders amounted to Rs 59,687 crore during the quarter, constituting 67 percent of the total order inflow. Last year, L&T had international orders totalling Rs 17,341 crore, which accounted for 33 percent of the total order inflow.
