Larden & Toubro (L&T), India's largest engineering firm, has cut 14,000 out of 1.2 lakh of its employees in this financial year to overcome the business slowdown. This amounts of 11.2% of its total workforce.
Heavy competition in the Domestic Market and fall of oil prices in the Middle East has affected L&T's business. The massive layoff is being seen as a correction and this move would certainly reduce the financial burden.
Aiming for Rs 5 lakh crore revenue in the next 5 years, A Strategic Plan has been prepared by Larden & Toubro. Non-Performing Firms have been shut down and a call on reviving them will be taken in the next 18-24 months.
In the first half of Financial Year 2016-17, L&T revenue increased only 8.6% (Rs 46,885 crore). The profit raised to Rs 2,044 crore against Rs 1,197 crore last year.
