Multinational conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is experiencing a "severe" shortage of skilled labour across various projects, attributed to factors such as extreme weather conditions and disruptions caused by elections, according to Chairman and Managing Director SN Subrahmanyan.
He said that the company currently needs approximately 25,000-30,000 labourers.
"We have specific HR for Labour. We have private labor colonies... we also taken measures to transport people in buses, taking measures to give them health and energy drinks during breaks. Early morning when they come to us, we give them breakfast late night when they go we give them dinner. So such arrangements have been made," said Subrahmanyan. He further pointed out the shortage of engineers in its IT business.
"There is a need for about 20,000 engineers within L&T... We are augmenting the shortage with training centres to upskill them with necessary requirements," he added.
