SN Subrahmanyan, CEO & MD, Larsen & Toubro said, “The divestment of Servowatch Systems is as per our stated goal of unlocking value within the existing business portfolio by divesting non-core units."
L&T facilitated the business to develop an award-winning software platform for the latest generation of marine integrated platform management systems that are sold globally to many navies and commercial operators, he said.
"We believe its partnership with Rolls-Royce and its product and solution brand MTU will pave the way for its further growth," Subrahmanyan added.
This is part of L&T’s plans to divest non-core businesses and boost its balance sheet strength. In August 2020, L&T concluded the strategic divestment of its Electrical & Automation business to Schneider Electric. L&T said its exit from the Electrical & Automation Business, as well as Servowatch Systems is a part of the strategic portfolio review process.
