Larsen & Toubro Extends Hyderabad Metro Stake Sale Deadline to December 2026
Larsen & Toubro (L T) has extended the deadline to complete the sale of its over 90% stake in L T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Ltd to December 31, 2026. The divestment, valued at Rs 1,461.47 crore, has faced delays due to structural, financial, and regulatory challenges, including property acquisition and alignment changes. L T had initially planned to complete the sale by June 30, 2026, but revised the timeline twice. The company cited operational losses and lack of expected financial support from the Telangana government.
