BHEL Bags New Orders from MAHAGENCO & Hitachi Energy India
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), a leading heavy electrical equipment company in India, has secured two major orders that are expected to boost its order book and revenue in the coming years. The orders, valued at a total of ₹16,015.7 crore, have been bagged from MAHAGENCO and Hitachi Energy India, respectively.
Order from MAHAGENCO
The first order, worth ₹8,000 crore, has been secured from Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited (MAHAGENCO) for the BTG (Boiler, Turbine and Generator) package of the 2×660 MW Koradi Thermal Power Station. This order is significant not only because of its value but also because it is a testament to BHEL’s expertise in designing and executing large thermal power projects.
The Koradi Thermal Power Station is located in Nagpur, Maharashtra, and is one of the largest power generation projects in the state. The BTG package is a critical component of the project, responsible for generating electricity. BHEL’s scope of work includes the design, manufacture, and installation of the boilers, turbines, and generators, as well as the associated electrical and mechanical systems.
Order from Hitachi Energy India
The second order, worth ₹8,015.7 crore, has been secured in consortium with Hitachi Energy India for the BF800 HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current) Project. The project involves the design and execution of an HVDC link to transmit 6000 MW of renewable energy from various sources to the national grid.
The HVDC link is a critical component of India’s renewable energy transmission infrastructure, enabling the transmission of large amounts of renewable energy over long distances. BHEL’s scope of work in this project includes the design, manufacture, and installation of the HVDC converter stations, as well as the associated electrical and mechanical systems.
Significance of the Orders
These two orders are significant for BHEL because they demonstrate the company’s capabilities in designing and executing large-scale power projects, both thermal and renewable. The orders also reflect the growing demand for power generation and transmission infrastructure in India, driven by the country’s rapid economic growth and increasing energy consumption.
Moreover, these orders are expected to boost BHEL’s revenue and order book in the coming years, providing a significant fillip to the company’s growth prospects. The orders are also expected to create employment opportunities and stimulate economic activity in the regions where the projects are located.
Conclusion
In conclusion, BHEL’s bagging of these two major orders from MAHAGENCO and Hitachi Energy India is a significant development for the company and the power sector in India. The orders demonstrate BHEL’s capabilities in designing and executing large-scale power projects, both thermal and renewable, and are expected to boost the company’s revenue and order book in the coming years.
As the Indian power sector continues to grow and evolve, companies like BHEL will play a critical role in meeting the country’s increasing energy demands. With its expertise and capabilities, BHEL is well-positioned to capitalize on the growth opportunities in the power sector and emerge as a leading player in the industry.
