The INR30bn ($492.8m) contract was awarded by NTPC, following a stiff international competition.
Under the contract, the company will design, engineer, manufacture, supply, erect, test and commission the steam generators and associated auxiliaries.
The key equipment for the contract is scheduled to be manufactured at BHEL’s Trichy, Ranipet, Bhopal, Hyderabad and Bangalore facilities, while the company’s Power Sector – Southern Region will be responsible for civil works and erection/commissioning of the equipment.
The contract takes BHEL’s tally of supercritical boilers of 660 MW, 700 MW and 800 MW ratings to 32 sets, thereby cementing its leadership position in supercritical technology.
In addition, the order is claimed to reinforce BHEL’s position at the forefront of the Indian power equipment manufacturing industry.
