State-owned engineering firm Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) announced on Tuesday that it has secured an order to establish a 1,600 MW Singrauli Supercritical Thermal Power Plant (STPP) Stage-III from NTPC.
Located adjacent to the existing 2,000 MW thermal power station (TPS) at Singrauli in Sonbhadra district of Uttar Pradesh, the plant will be set up by BHEL, as stated in a press release.
Singrauli TPS, established by BHEL in 1982, was NTPC’s inaugural power plant in the state. The machines previously installed by BHEL at Singrauli have demonstrated exceptional performance since their commissioning.
BHEL clinched the order from NTPC under International Competitive Bidding (ICB) to construct the 2×800 MW Singrauli Supercritical Thermal Power Plant (STPP) Stage-III on an Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) basis, according to the statement.
Key equipment for the project will be sourced from BHEL’s manufacturing units located at Haridwar, Trichy, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ranipet, and Bhopal.
