L&T is currently involved in building an integrated shipyard cum port project at Kattupalli, near Chennai, over an area of 1200 acres. Once completed, this project is poised to become a landmark for building modern vessels, war- ships, submarines, ship repair, as well as in becoming an important port on the Eastern coast of India. This facility will not only strengthen the defence of the nation through Indian Navy but also set to boost the maritime trade through its containerisation facility. Moving from the defence of the nation, L&T has been shouldered with the responsibility of sheltering the masses through the country’s single largest affordable housing project at Lucknow. The current issue dwells on this project including yet another project of powering the nation through the Coal Handling Plant built at Koderma for Damodar Valley Corporation. L&T has taken the lead in all these projects by introducing pioneering construction techniques, resulting in execution of projects with innovation, high quality and speed. The Kaleidoscope section, as usual, offers a medley of corporate awards, accolades, events and CSR initiatives done by L&T across its project sites. Happy reading! - Editor Editor : V. S.
