Larsen & Toubro has secured an order valued between ₹1,000 crore and ₹2,500 crore from Noida Metro Rail Corporation Ltd for the construction of key sections of the Noida Metro Aqua Line extension, in a move that will add 15.1 km of elevated urban transit infrastructure to the network.
The order was announced by L&T on Monday through a company statement, as reported by PTI. It has been awarded to the engineering major’s heavy civil infrastructure business vertical for the part design and construction of the Noida Metro Aqua Line Extension Project.
The scope covers an elevated viaduct from Botanical Garden to Noida Sector-142 and another section running from the Depot Station to Boraki. The project will also include the construction of 10 elevated metro stations, along with architectural finishes.
The two viaduct sections will extend the Aqua Line’s reach across important parts of Noida’s expanding urban area. The locations named in the project scope include Botanical Garden, Sector-142, the Depot Station and Boraki, linking existing and developing urban zones through elevated rail infrastructure.
According to L&T, the project is scheduled to be completed within 36 months. The company described the Aqua Line extension as a major urban transit project intended to improve regional connectivity and commuter accessibility. The statement also said the project would support Noida’s expanding urban landscape.
The order value has been disclosed as a range rather than a single figure. L&T said the contract falls within the ₹1,000 crore to ₹2,500 crore category used for the project. The company’s classification covers orders of this size under its infrastructure business.
The project’s construction scope places responsibility for part design and construction with L&T, while the metro corporation remains the awarding authority identified in the announcement. The inclusion of station construction and architectural finishes means the contract extends beyond viaduct work to parts of the passenger-facing infrastructure.
The announcement comes as Noida continues to expand its urban footprint. The stated project timeline will require the design and construction work to be completed within three years of the project’s execution schedule. The company did not provide further details in the statement on the construction start date, project financing, station opening dates or the expected ridership.
L&T is an Indian multinational engineering, procurement and construction company with operations across infrastructure, high-tech manufacturing, products and services, and multiple geographic markets. The company said the contract had been secured by its heavy civil infrastructure business, which is executing the metro extension work.
