Larsen & Toubro Plans Rare-Earth Magnet Manufacturing in India Under Government Incentive
Larsen & Toubro (L T) plans to manufacture rare-earth magnets in India, aiming to reduce reliance on imports and challenge China's dominance in this critical industrial component. The company is preparing to bid for the government's ₹7,280 crore incentive program, which supports domestic production. L T will seek a technology partner for this high-precision engineering sector. This move diversifies L T's business and aligns with its electric vehicle motor investments, as rare-earth magnets are essential in various industries including EVs, wind turbines, and robotics.
