India’s engineering and construction heavyweight Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has clinched a significant assignment in Oman to build an office complex within the Madinat Al‑Irfan development. The deal marks another momentous win for L&T’s Buildings & Factories (B&F) division, underscoring its continued expansion across the Gulf region.
Project Blueprint: Three Towers, Shared Vision
The contract covers the development of three office buildings arranged around a central landscaped park as part of Madinat Al‑Irfan, a fast‑growing mixed‑use zone in Oman’s capital. Exact financial terms were not formally disclosed, but the scale and architecture reflect a high‑value build typical of L&T’s premium offerings.
Detailed project scope includes erecting three identical office towers, each rising eight floors above a shared two‑level basement. The complex also features a landscaped central plaza, designed to link the towers and offer enhanced public space.
The work package comprises civil and architectural tasks, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems, finishes for common areas, external works, hardscaping and soft landscaping. It reflects L&T’s turnkey capabilities across the full life cycle of large office developments.
Client Confidence Fuels Repeat Success
This assignment represents a repeat order delivered through L&T Oman’s B&F vertical, suggesting strong client confidence based on prior collaborations. In recent weeks, the same unit secured large orders in India and overseas that cover secretariat buildings, residential towers, and luxury apartments.
Among those, L&T is executing major projects in Andhra Pradesh (Towers for the state secretariat and residential blocks), as well as premium high‑rise residential construction in Mumbai. The Muscat assignment is part of this broader tightening of the company’s international footprint in premium real estate development.
Madinat Al-Irfan: Oman’s Future Business Nerve Centre
For Oman, the project supports the nation’s drive to diversify beyond oil by scaling up its business and mixed‑use infrastructure. Madinat Al‑Irfan is central to this vision, hosting a blend of commercial, residential and civic development aimed at positioning Muscat as a modern regional hub.
L&T’s involvement brings international engineering and construction standards, while offering opportunities for local subcontractors in services and materials. The local economy gains both through direct employment and broader value‑chain contributions in landscaping, utilities, fit‑out and finishing.
At the same time, navigating logistics, supply‑chain coordination and workforce deployment across borders calls for capable planning. L&T’s global delivery model is expected to mitigate these challenges successfully.
L&T’s B&F Division: Proven Performer in the Gulf
Larsen & Toubro, valued at over USD 30 billion, operates in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), hi‑tech manufacturing, and infrastructure services across multiple continents. Its Buildings & Factories division specialises in delivering high‑end commercial, institutional and residential buildings, including government facilities, towers and large mixed‑use developments.
In Oman, L&T’s subsidiary has previously undertaken infrastructure, residential and commercial projects, further anchoring its regional presence. The latest win reinforces L&T’s strength in executing complex, high‑quality builds across geographies and sectors.
The Landmark Project
Project execution details, such as expected completion timeline, contractor partnerships or financing arrangements, remain undisclosed. However, given the scale, the build phase is likely to span multiple years, from excavation and basement construction through tower erection, fit‑out and external finishing works.
Completion of this office hub will offer premium workspace in a strategic enclave of Muscat, supporting both domestic companies and regional business operations. The central plaza and landscaped setting are expected to enhance the complex’s appeal to occupiers.
For L&T, the development strengthens its brand as a trusted EPC partner in the Gulf. Success here may pave the way for further assignments across Oman and neighbouring states, particularly in high‑growth business and real estate corridors.
