L&T Technology Services (LTTS), a listed subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, has partnered with industrial AI company Cognite to develop and deliver AI and data solutions for asset-intensive industries.
Under the partnership, LTTS will combine its engineering, manufacturing operations, and asset lifecycle expertise with Cognite’s industrial AI and data capabilities. The solutions will cover oil and gas, chemicals, LNG, CPG/FMCG, mining, and industrial manufacturing.
LTTS has established a dedicated Cognite Centre of Excellence and certified an initial group of more than 50 engineers. The companies will also co-develop industry-specific solutions covering industrial AI applications, digital twins, predictive maintenance, and operational intelligence.
Their first joint project is underway with an undisclosed global top 10 oil and gas company. LTTS and Cognite are working to convert a manual mechanical-integrity process into a contextualised digital workflow. The companies said the workflow is designed to help engineers work more efficiently, identify risks faster, and prevent downtime and safety events.
“Our partnership with Cognite strengthens LTTS’ ability to deliver Engineering Intelligence by combining deep engineering expertise with AI-native industrial experiences. We are excited about the potential for joint value creation by integrating Cognite’s capabilities with LTTS’ EIOne, enabling us to co-create solutions that address complex industrial challenges and accelerate the journey from AI pilots to production,” LTTS CEO and MD Amit Chadha said in a statement.
The partnership builds on LTTS’ existing push into AI-led engineering services. In July 2025, the company said AI and automation were becoming increasingly central to client engagements and that it had deployed multiple AI programmes for customers. It had also developed its PLxAI framework for product development. LTTS has been expanding its AI capabilities through its engineering-services business.
Industrial AI deployments also require engineering and operational context. One recent implementation by engineering firm KBR combined AI with operational data, engineering expertise, and simulation to account for physical constraints in industrial plants. The deployment used physics-informed AI to optimise industrial plants while accounting for engineering and physical constraints.
LTTS boasted more than 23,840 employees across 21 global design centres, 30 global sales offices, and 103 innovation labs as of June 30, 2026.
