Larsen & Toubro Plans Domestic Production of Rare-Earth Magnets to Reduce Imports
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) plans to enter the rare-earth magnet manufacturing sector in India, aiming to reduce reliance on imports and challenge China's dominance, which controls about 90% of global production. The company intends to bid for the government's ₹7,280 crore incentive policy and will seek a technology partner for this high-precision engineering venture. This move diversifies L&T's traditional businesses and aligns with its investment in electric vehicle motors that use rare-earth permanent magnets.
