Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T) has announced that Moody's Ratings assigned a ‘Baa1’ long-term issuer rating with a ‘Stable’ outlook to the Company on July 6, 2026. This rating signifies a quality investment-grade credit profile, reflecting L&T's strong capacity to meet financial commitments and a low level of credit risk, underscoring its prudent financial management and consistent operational performance. The ‘Stable’ outlook is based on the expectation that L&T and its core international subsidiaries will maintain strict fiscal discipline, comfortable leverage levels, and healthy operating margins, driven by high-margin engineering services and large-scale EPC projects in West Asia. Moody's evaluation highlighted L&T's core credit strengths, including its diversified conglomerate structure with a deep track record, dominant market position with revenue visibility, exemplary corporate governance, and favorable industry prospects in the infrastructure landscape. Notably, this ‘Baa1’ rating is two notches above India’s sovereign rating of ‘Baa3’. Moody's also assigned a matching ‘Baa1’ rating to L&T Hydrocarbon Saudi Company, a subsidiary of L&T, reflecting its tight operational integration with the parent company and the strategic importance of L&T's West Asia operations.
