However, the executive chairman of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) would surely treasure this as one of his biggest awards – about 3,000 employees of the engineering and construction conglomerate came together to celebrate Naik’s 50 years of service at the company’s Powai campus here on Monday.

Naik completed his 50th year in the company on March 15, but the celebrations were delayed as the man himself was in Kuwait, to do what he loves best – work.

Mumbai: The Airbus Group NV is in advanced talks with India’s largest engineering company Larsen and Toubro Ltd (L&T) for setting up a radar manufacturing facility in India.

L&T’s Q3 profitability was below our estimate, led by losses in the hydrocarbons business, unfavourable job mix, very weak non-infrastructure sales and one-offs. FY15 will be a lacklustre year but FY16 looks better given (i) likely continuation of strong sales growth in the infrastructure segment (+20%) and pick-up in non-infrastructure sales on improving inflow/backlog in FY15, (ii) losses in the hydrocarbon business will be largely provided for in FY15, (iii) potential impact, if any, of the infrastructure segment’s overseas execution on margin will materially reflect only in FY17, (iv) continued positive news flow on better domestic ordering, which will eventually be followed by actual higher order awards, though potentially back-ended.
