Torrent Power Ltd. is in discussions to acquire the thermal power business of Larsen & Toubro Ltd. (L&T) in a deal estimated at around $1 billion, including debt.

L&T has been exploring a sale of its thermal power unit to streamline operations and focus on its core areas in engineering and construction.
