Mumbai, January 14, 2026: Larsen & Toubro Limited announced that its Heavy Civil Infrastructure business has secured a large contract for the construction of India’s biggest pumped storage project, the 3,000 MW Saidongar-1 Pumped Storage Project, located in Raigad district of Maharashtra.
The project has been awarded by Torrent Energy Storage Solutions Pvt Ltd, earlier known as Torrent PSH 3 Pvt Ltd. The Saidongar-1 facility will comprise ten generating units of 300 MW each, marking a significant addition to India’s pumped storage capacity.
Under the contract, L&T will undertake the complete scope of design, engineering and execution of all civil works along with hydro-mechanical components associated with the project.

Such pumped storage projects are increasingly seen as essential to balancing renewable energy integration and supporting long-term decarbonisation objectives.

The company noted that its engineering capabilities, focus on timely execution and adherence to global safety standards continue to underpin its leadership position in large-scale infrastructure development.
