In an official filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), L&T disclosed that the project involves the establishment of a “solar photovoltaic plant in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.” This venture aligns with Dubai’s commitment to enhancing its renewable energy capacity and fostering economic development through sustainable practices.
