The L&T Construction’s Buildings & Factories is a business vertical that is equipped with the domain knowledge, requisite expertise and wide-ranging experience to undertake Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of all types of building and factory structures through its dedicated Business Units.

A turnkey design-and-build concept allows the space to be able to be moved into immediately upon the completion of construction, without any additional changes being made to the building. This is often used in commercial buildings, when the building is being created with a specific type of tenant in mind.

‘Business Standard’ further stated that the above stadium, to spread over 30.67 acres, will be able to hold 30,000 spectators. The scope includes the main ground according to the International Cricket Council (ICC) standards, display scoreboard, floodlights, corporate boxes, VIP lounges, office areas, broadcasting, Press conference areas, kitchen and dining areas, and a practice ground.
