Mumbai/IBNS: Subramanian Sarma, CEO and MD of L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), has been inducted as Executive Director on the latter’s Board.

In his new role, Sarma will be designated Whole-Time Director  and Senior Executive Vice President (Energy).

Effective August 19, 2020, he will hold Board level responsibility for L&T’s Power business, in addition to his current responsibility in the Hydrocarbon business.

Subramanian Sarma said, “I am looking forward to the challenge of handling an integrated ‘Energy’ portfolio encompassing both hydrocarbon and power.”
