Larsen & Toubro Limited has approved a plan to transfer its Realty Business Undertaking to its fully owned subsidiary, L&T Realty Properties Ltd, through a slump sale under a proposed Scheme of Arrangement. The transaction is subject to regulatory clearances. This marks the first phase of a broader plan to bring all real estate interests under one organizational framework, enabling L&T Realty to operate as a single, scalable platform positioned to take advantage of India’s growing property market. The move is expected to strengthen operational agility, financial capacity, and brand identity in the real estate segment.

Speaking about the decision, SN Subrahmanyan, Chairman and Managing Director of L&T, stated “L&T Realty must grow as an independent enterprise with the flexibility needed to scale its development pipeline through land acquisition and partnership-based models. A unified structure will support capital mobilization and brand consolidation, allowing L&T Realty to build a powerful and future-focused real estate institution. This transition lays the groundwork for L&T Realty to emerge as a leading name in India’s premium real estate landscape over the next few years. The roadmap emphasizes expansion in major metropolitan regions, strengthening its luxury positioning, disciplined investment in land, long-term development partnerships, and resilience across real estate cycles.”

By consolidating its assets into a single platform, L&T Realty aims to shape modern urban development through a combination of design innovation, strong engineering capability, and a premium living experience aligned with evolving consumer expectations. L&T entered the real estate sector in 2007 with a focus on developing its land assets into high-quality residential and commercial spaces.

In 2011, L&T Realty Properties Ltd was incorporated to accelerate growth through joint ventures and large-scale developments. Since then, the brand has delivered projects across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Bengaluru, NCR, Chennai, and Hyderabad, including Seawoods — India’s first and recognized transit-oriented development, which set a benchmark for integrated infrastructure-led community design.

Industry reforms such as RERA and GST, alongside increasing institutional investment and the rise of REITs, have reshaped India’s real estate landscape and supported L&T Realty’s evolution into a trusted developer with a premium market presence. The company has expanded beyond L&T-owned assets to pursue selective land purchases and high-value joint developments in key markets. Its development pipeline now stands at approximately 65 million sq ft across luxury residences, Grade-A office spaces, and retail-led mixed-use environments.

Larsen & Toubro is a diversified global technology, engineering, construction, and manufacturing group headquartered in India, with revenues of approximately USD 30 billion. Its longstanding commitment to engineering excellence, execution capability, and customer trust has positioned the company as a leader across several industry verticals for more than eight decades.
