After reporting a 12% drop in revenue to Rs31,000 crore in the fiscal second quarter, L&T shied away from giving a definite outlook for the year. Its senior management said it is still playing catch-up with last year’s numbers.

“The second quarter has been a road to revival from the depths of Q1,” R. Shankar Raman, whole-time director and chief financial officer of L&T, said.
