L&T receives an important order for the Global Nuclear Fusion Project to use advanced welding technology.

On Friday, Larsen and Toubro (L&T) declared that it had secured a new, substantial order from the ITER Organization, an intergovernmental body based in France, for the deployment of vital advanced technologies for the assembly of ports and complex parts with the Vacuum Vessel at the largest nuclear fusion project in the world, located in Cadarache, Southern France.

The company also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the ITER Organization for technical cooperation on the project, according to a regulatory filing. Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, L&T will assist the ITER Organization in developing “state of the art” technology for the “first of a kind” hardware and assembling all such fusion-related devices inside the ITER Tokamak vacuum vessel to regulate the plasma operation. Most of these activities will take place in the ITER site’s Tokamak pit.

For the ITER project, L&T successfully manufactured and delivered an early stainless-steel high-vacuum pressure vessel (Cryostat) during the 2020 COVID pandemic.

“I am pleased to announce the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding with Larsen & Toubro,” stated Pietro Barabaschi, Director General of ITER. L&T’s dependability in high-tech production has been proven in earlier contributions to ITER. This is essential to addressing the ITER project’s technological hurdles. ITER has benefited greatly from India’s contributions and partnership, and we anticipate working together going forward.

The company states that important orders are worth between Rs 5000 crore and Rs 7000 crore, mega orders are worth over Rs 7000 crore, huge orders are worth between Rs 2500 crore and Rs 5000 crore, and significant orders are valued between Rs 1000 crore and Rs 2500 crore.

L&T is a global corporation that works on EPC projects and provides high-tech manufacturing and services. It has operations in more than 50 nations.
