A milestone for Trichy
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Tiruchi, achieved a major milestone on Wednesday with the despatch of the first consignment of supercritical boiler components for its 2 x 800 MW power project at Krishnapatnam in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.
Mr. B.P. Rao, Chairman and Managing Director, BHEL, flagged off the consignment in the presence of Mr.A. V. Krishnan, Executive Director, BHEL Tiruchi Complex, and other senior officials.
The Rs. 2,500-crore order for BHEL’s first supercritical 800 MW boilers was placed by the Andhra Pradesh Power Development Company Limited (APPDCL), a joint venture of APGenco and ILFS (Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Limited).
According to a BHEL press release, BHEL had demonstrated its international competitiveness by securing this order by outbidding the L&T-Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) combine in a global tender.
BHEL’s scope of work includes manufacture, supply, erection, testing and commissioning of the steam generators and associated auxiliaries. While the supercritical boilers are being manufactured at BHEL’s Boiler Plant at Tiruchirappalli, the coal mills and electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) are being supplied by BHEL’s manufacturing units at Hyderabad and Ranipet respectively.
BHEL has also formed a joint venture with the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) for setting up a 2 x 800 MW supercritical thermal power project at Udangudi in Tiruchendur taluk of Tuticorin district. It will be the first supercritical power project in Tamil Nadu at a total capital outlay of around Rs 8,700 crore.
Leveraging the joint venture route, BHEL has signed another agreement with the Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) to build, own and operate thermal power plants with supercritical parameters at Edlapur and Eramarus in the Raichur district of Karnataka.
Recently, BHEL secured another major order worth Rs. 5,600 core for supplying three 660 MW supercritical thermal sets for the 1980 MW Prayagraj Thermal Power Project being set up at Bara in the Allahabad district of Uttar Pradesh by Prayagraj Power Generation Company Limited (PPGCL), owned by the private sector Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL).
