L&T was founded in Bombay (Mumbai) in 1938 by two Danish engineers, Henning Holck-Larsen and Soren Kristian Toubro. Both of them were strongly committed to developing India's engineering capabilities to meet the demands of industry.

In 1938, They established their first office in Mumbai (Bombay) which was so small that only one of the partners could use the office at a time!

In 1944, ECC was incorporated. Around then, L&T decided to build a portfolio of foreign collaborations.

In 1945, the Company represented British manufacturers of equipment used to manufacture products such as hydrogenated oils, biscuits, soaps and glass. It also signed an agreement with Caterpillar Tractor Company, USA, for marketing earthmoving equipment. At the end of the war, large numbers of war-surplus Caterpillar equipment were available at attractive prices, but the finances required were beyond the capacity of the partners. This prompted them to raise additional equity capital, and on 7th February 1946, Larsen & Toubro Private Limited was born.

In 1948, fifty-five acres of undeveloped marsh and jungle was acquired in Powai. Today, Powai stands as a tribute to the vision of the men who transformed this uninhabitable swamp into a manufacturing landmark.

In December 1950, L&T became a Public Company with a paid-up capital of Rs.2 million. The sales turnover in that year was Rs.10.9 million.

In 1956, a major part of the company's Bombay office moved to ICI House in Ballard Estate. A decade later this imposing grey-stone building was purchased by L&T, and renamed as L&T House - its Corporate Office.

The sixties saw a significant change at L&T - S. K. Toubro retired from active management in 1962.The sixties were also a decade of rapid growth for the company, and witnessed the formation of many new ventures: UTMAL (set up in 1960), Audco India Limited (1961), Eutectic Welding Alloys (1962) and TENGL (1963).

By 1964, L&T had widened its capabilities to include some of the best technologies in the world.

In 1973 it had become one of the Top-25 Indian companies. In 1976, Holck-Larsen was awarded the Magsaysay Award for International Understanding in recognition of his contribution to India's industrial development. He retired as Chairman in 1978.

L&T Information Technology Ltd (LTITL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T), the company changed its name to L&T Infotech on 1st April, 1997.

In 2004, it tied up with Fidelity Information Services, a division of Fidelity National Financial to provide banking solutions for the Indian banking industry.

In 2005, L&T Infotech was rated amongst the top 5 preferred employers for the class of 2005 by AC Nielsen.

In December 2006, L&T Infotech acquired GDA Technologies (a privately held electronic design firm based in California, USA)

In February 2008, L&T Infotech has signed Global Partnership with SAP L&T Infotech is a provide's Information Technology consulting and Software Services & solutions. It is a 100% subsidiary of the one of Asia's largest organizations.
