Larsen & Toubro is India’s foremost technology, engineering and construction conglomerate that has earned the right to be referred to as ‘builders of nations.’ Very few companies globally can match the width, depth and scale of L&T’s operations.

As rapid urbanization drives infrastructure development and with space a huge constraint in cities, a fair share of construction is moving underground with the result tunnelling is assuming greater importance. Since it is still an emerging activity, the skill set available for tunnelling is extremely meagre. L&T’s Tunnelling Excellence Academy (TEA) aims to address this gap and is in line with India’s vision and national policy for skill development to create an ecosystem of skilled human resources in alignment with global standards and catalyse sustainable livelihoods.
