Hit by sub-contracted labour shortages post COVID-19 lockdowns, L&T expects normalcy in Q2
Admitting that Larsen & Toubro has not been immune to labour disruptions due to COVID-19, the group’s chairman A M Naik has said sub-contracted labour of the company dipped even below 1.6 lakh post pandemic induced lockdowns from 2.25 lakh earlier.
Ninety per cent of the domestic project sites of the company are working with restricted labour capacity, the company said in its latest annual report.
Images of migrant workers returning to their homes, some on foot, some by hitch-hiking and a large number through special ?Shramik’ trains and buses arranged by the central government in coordination with state governments have been imprinted on minds through mainstream and social media, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Group Chairman A M Naik said in the report.
