Bihar’s Boldest Solar Leap: L&T Bags ₹2,500 Cr Contract to Build India’s Largest Solar+Storage Plant in Lakhisarai!

Bihar Just Got Brighter: L&T’s Mega Solar Move Puts Lakhisarai on India’s Green Map

In a game-changing development for Bihar’s clean energy future, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured a massive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contract to set up a 116 MWac grid-connected Solar Photovoltaic (PV) plant in Lakhisarai.

But that’s just the beginning.
This isn’t just another solar project—it’s India’s largest co-located solar + storage site. Backed by a robust 241 megawatt-hour (MWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), Lakhisarai is all set to become the solar capital of Eastern India.

What Makes This Project a Game-Changer?

This contract, worth between ₹1,000 crore and ₹2,500 crore, is one of the largest state-utility-awarded solar+storage projects in the country. With this, L&T will not only add new capacity but also build on the existing infrastructure at the site, taking the total co-located energy storage capacity to a staggering 495 MWh.

This kind of scale and integration is unprecedented in India’s renewable energy landscape.

Big Energy, Bigger Impact

With a bold vision for sustainability, this project is a turning point for Bihar’s energy sector. Here’s why:

• First-of-its-kind battery-integrated solar site in Bihar

• Strategic location in Lakhisarai, making clean power more accessible

• Boost to local employment and green economy

• Strengthens India’s commitment to clean energy goals

As a result of this major win, L&T’s stock was up by 0.93%, trading at ₹3,620.50 on the BSE as of 12:19 PM on August 4, 2025. The financial markets are clearly responding positively to this green victory.

Why Lakhisarai? Why Now?

Lakhisarai might not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking of large-scale energy infrastructure. But that’s exactly why it matters.

The district is now transforming into a hub of renewable innovation, thanks to smart investments and forward-thinking governance. Projects like these do more than light up homes—they ignite hope, innovation, and employment in smaller towns.

A Win for India, a Bigger Win for Bihar

By becoming home to the country’s largest co-located solar and battery project, Lakhisarai isn’t just making headlines. It’s rewriting Bihar’s future.

And at the center of this transformation is L&T, a brand known for pushing the boundaries of infrastructure and engineering.

Let this be a reminder: Bihar is not behind. Bihar is rising.
