The financial system is also in need of attention. In tandem, the administration would do well to streamline processes and accelerate the pace of decision-making. Over and above its business goals, L&T has a larger responsibility to society and nation. Right from the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic, L&T adopted stringent measures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its people and stakeholders. At the Group level, L&T contributed ₹ 150 crore for the PM CARES fund, including a ₹ 19 crore contribution from our employees, who responded spontaneously by donating their two days’ salary. Further, we have donated medical equipment including Personnel Protective Equipment worth ₹ 40 crore to states across the country. |
We took it upon ourselves to ensure that the 1,60,000 contract workmen at our project sites received good care, by continuing to pay them their wages, provide food, shelter and medical assistance. This involved an outlay of approximately ₹ 500 crore per month during the stringent lockdown period. Further, our construction business has converted hospitals to COVID Care Centres at six locations around the country. Our smart solutions help civic authorities in different Cities, monitor crowds and alert authorities. Your Company’s public-spirited initiatives have been appreciated by various state governments. We are hopeful that the 2nd half of FY 2020-21 will signal better economic activity. The NIP or National Infrastructure Pipeline project formulated by the Government is likely to lead to increased spends in critical areas, and your Company is poised to capitalise on these opportunities. |
