BHEL CREATES LANDMARK SECURES 4000MW CONTRACT FROM TELANGANA STATE POWER GENERATION CORP. LTD. FOR SETTING UP SUPERCRITICAL THERMAL POWER PROJECT
New Delhi: Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has achieved a new landmark by securing the single-largest order in its history for setting up a 4,000 MW (5×800 MW) supercritical thermal power project from Telangana State Power Generation Corporation Limited (TSGENCO). Significantly, valued at at Rs.17,950 Crore, this is also one of the highest value orders ever placed in the capital goods sector in India.
Notably, close on the heels of placing two major orders on BHEL, the newly formed Telangana state utility, TSGENCO has entrusted BHEL with this order for setting up the 5×800 MW thermal power plant, with supercritical parameters, on Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) basis, at Damaracherla in Nalgonda District in the state, named as Yadadri Thermal Power Project. Earlier, in December, 2014, TSGENCO had placed an order on BHEL for setting up Telangana’s first Supercritical Thermal Power Plant of 800 MW rating, also on EPC basis, at Kothagudem, followed by an order for the 4×270 MW Bhadradari TPS at Manuguru in Khammam district in March 2015.
