An 18th Century sketch of Fort St. George
L&T is participating in the annual Madras Week celebrations which commemorates the founding of the city. It was on August 22, 1639 that the East India Company was granted three square miles of land by the Nayaks of Thondamandalam to build Fort St. George, which formed the core around which today’s Chennai developed.
L&T Holck-Larsen Centre, which showcases the company’s history, achievements as well as its contributions to Chennai, will be open to public during the celebrations.
