Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
L&T responded to a stock exchange query triggered by a Moneycontrol report saying Kuwait may cancel oil project tenders worth $8.7 billion, which had dragged L&T shares down 3%. The company clarified that the projects mentioned in the report were never part of L&T's order book. L&T also stated it cannot comment on the status of tenders or commercial decisions of its clients. The filing was made on January 13, 2026, signed by Company Secretary Subramanian Narayan.
This clarification should ease investor concerns — the feared project exposure does not exist in L&T's order book, which may help the stock recover the 3% loss. However, broader Kuwait business exposure is still left unaddressed.
