On Friday, state-run engineering firm Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) announced that it had received a 6,700 crore order from Singareni Collieries Company (SCCL) to build an 800 MW thermal power plant in Telangana.
BHEL's scope of work for this contract includes design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, erection, and commissioning, as well as civil works, according to a company statement.
BHEL has received an order from SCCL to build the 800 MW Adilabad supercritical thermal power project in Mancherial district, Telangana, on an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) basis.
According to the company, the order is worth Rs 6,700 crore, exclusive of taxes and duties.
The proposed unit will be built adjacent to the existing two 600 MW units that are currently operational.
Significantly, these units were also assigned to BHEL for Boiler-Turbine-Generator (BTG) scope, and both units were commissioned by BHEL in 2016.
Notably, BHEL has successfully installed more than 75% of coal-powered sets for various utilities in Telangana.
As India's leading power equipment manufacturer, with over 1,70,000 MW of utility power capacity installed across the country, BHEL continues to play an important role in strengthening India's energy security and promoting self-reliance in the power sector.
