L&T sales growth to slow on order delays

Premium

Mumbai: Larsen & Toubro Ltd’s (L&T) sales growth may slow to 20% this fiscal, about half the pace of the previous 12 months, as local and overseas customers of India’s biggest engineering company delay projects.

Sales rose 38% last fiscal. Order growth is expected to fall to 25% in the year ending 31 March, from 33% last year, chief financial officer Y.M. Deosthalee said.

To boost sales, L&T is expanding its financial services to provide funding for equipment purchases, he said. L&T, which has a 4.69% stake in City Union Bank Ltd, also plans to enter the general insurance business.
