In one of the biggest layoffs the country has witnessed, engineering services firm Larsen & Toubro has let go of 14,000 employees. The exercise is the company’s bid to “right size” its workforce amid a business slowdown, The Economic Times reported Wednesday.

The workforce-retrenchment exercise, done as part of digitisation and productivity enhancement initiative, was carried out over six months to September.
