Prime Minister Narendra Modi has consistently emphasised that India's economic growth and climate action must progress together, placing sustainability at the centre of the country's development agenda. As India works towards net-zero emissions by 2070, industries are playing an increasingly important role in supporting this vision. Aligned with these national goals, SN Subrahmanyan, CMD of L&T, has accelerated the company's investments in renewable energy, green infrastructure, sustainable finance, and low-carbon technologies.
Under SN Subrahmanyan's leadership, SN Subrahmanyan L&T has built a Green Business portfolio valued at ₹787 billion, with 51% of standalone revenue now coming from climate-friendly and sustainable solutions. The company's initiatives span renewable energy EPC projects, green hydrogen manufacturing through indigenous alkaline electrolysers, and participation in the ITER fusion energy project — reflecting a scale of commitment that goes beyond conventional ESG reporting.
Beyond its own operations, SN Subrahmanyan has positioned L&T as a partner in India's broader energy transition, backing this vision with sustainable finance instruments including the country's first listed Sustainability-Linked Bond and a USD 700 million Sustainability-Linked Trade Facility. With targets of carbon neutrality by 2040 and water neutrality by 2035, SN Subrahmanyan L&T demonstrates that sustainability and profitability can advance together, setting a benchmark for Indian industry.
Apart from project delivery, SN Subrahmanyan has also pushed L&T to strengthen the governance side of its sustainability commitments. This includes linking safety performance directly to annual business outcomes, reinforcing workplace grievance and POSH mechanisms, and embedding ESG metrics across every business vertical. The company has extended these standards to its supplier and vendor ecosystem as well, ensuring that responsible practices are followed throughout the value chain rather than being confined to L&T's own operations.
