It starts as a line.
In 1938 two Danish engineers set up in Bombay. Eighty-eight years on, Larsen & Toubro works at every scale there is. This is all of it, in one unbroken move, at true size.

This is you.

Everything from here on stands on the same sheet as you, at true scale. Nothing is resized to fit.
Mavala, the tunnel borer
12.19m
The largest tunnelling machine ever used in India, over 2,800 tonnes. Under Mumbai's Coastal Road it dug 456.72 m in one month, which L&T reported as a world record.
The ITER cryostat, made at Hazira
29.4m
The vacuum flask around a fusion reactor in southern France. About 3,850 tonnes of steel, shipped in 54 pieces, built to hold a billionth of atmospheric pressure. ITER and L&T call it the largest in the world.
Statue of Unity, Kevadia
182m
Two concrete cores climb 127 m inside it. A steel frame hangs from them, and the bronze hangs from the frame. L&T says it took 33 months.

Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
132,000seats
Every dot is a seat. More than 9,000 precast pieces went into it, the heaviest 285 tonnes, under a roof about a kilometre around that reaches 30 m out over the crowd.

Atal Setu, Mumbai
21.8km
India's longest sea bridge. L&T built the yellow parts: 10.38 km from Sewri with Japan's IHI, and 3.6 km at the Chirle end. Daewoo and Tata Projects built the middle.
India's first bullet train
508km
Mumbai to Ahmedabad. L&T holds 333.87 km of it, in yellow. One package alone is 237.1 km and ₹24,985 crore. Route drawn schematically.
Here the ground runs out of flat.

54% of it is international. Hazira alone has shipped a cryostat to France, a 1,751 tonne reactor to Mexico and 1,136 tonne reactors to China. The 2,300 tonne reactors it sent to Visakhapatnam are, L&T says, the heaviest of their type.
The line keeps going.
384,400km
Earth to the Moon, at true scale. You are still standing where you started.
Chandrayaan-3
Powai to the Moon
The rocket's middle booster segment and nozzle bucket flange came from L&T's Powai works, its umbilical plates from Coimbatore. A consortium of HAL and L&T now has an ₹860 crore contract to build five PSLV rockets.
Now the other way.
L&T Semiconductor Technologies
130nm
The newest thing it makes is the smallest. Its stated design range runs from 130 nm nodes down to 2 to 5 nm, and at Semicon India 2026 it showed 40 products as it moved into commercial production.
Eighty-eight years. Still the same line.
Henning Holck-Larsen and Søren Kristian Toubro set up in Bombay in 1938. Everything on this sheet started as a line somebody drew.
