BHEL Bags New Orders from MAHAGENCO & Hitachi Energy India
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), a leading heavy electrical equipment company, has secured two major orders that are expected to boost its production and revenue. The company has bagged orders from MAHAGENCO and Hitachi Energy India, respectively, for the design, manufacture, and execution of critical power infrastructure projects.
Order from MAHAGENCO
The first order, valued at ₹8,000 crore, is from MAHAGENCO (Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited), a leading power generation company in India. The order is for the BTG (Boiler, Turbine, and Generator) package of the 2×660 MW Koradi Thermal Power Station. This project is a significant milestone for BHEL, as it marks the company’s entry into the thermal power sector in Maharashtra.
The Koradi Thermal Power Station is one of the largest thermal power projects in the country, and the BTG package is a critical component of the project. The order is a testament to BHEL’s expertise in designing and manufacturing high-capacity boilers, turbines, and generators.
Order from Hitachi Energy India
The second order, in consortium with Hitachi Energy India, is 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 BF800 HVDC Project is a significant development in India’s renewable energy sector, as it paves the way for the integration of renewable energy sources into the national grid. BHEL, in partnership with Hitachi Energy India, will be responsible for designing and executing the HVDC link, which will enable the transmission of renewable energy over long distances.
Significance of the Orders
The two orders are significant for BHEL for several reasons. Firstly, they demonstrate the company’s expertise in designing and manufacturing critical power infrastructure equipment, including boilers, turbines, and generators. Secondly, the orders reflect the company’s ability to collaborate with international partners to deliver complex projects.
The orders are also significant for the Indian power sector, as they demonstrate the country’s commitment to increasing its renewable energy capacity. The BF800 HVDC Project, in particular, is a major step forward in India’s efforts to integrate renewable energy sources into the national grid.
Impact on BHEL’s Order Book
The two orders are expected to have a significant impact on BHEL’s order book. With a value of ₹8,000 crore, the order from MAHAGENCO is one of the largest orders received by the company in recent times. The order from Hitachi Energy India, although not disclosed, is expected to be significant, given the complexity and scope of the project.
The two orders are expected to contribute significantly to BHEL’s order book, which is expected to cross the ₹1 lakh crore mark in the current financial year. The orders are also expected to provide a significant boost to BHEL’s revenue, which is expected to grow by 20-25% in the current financial year.
Conclusion
In conclusion, BHEL’s orders from MAHAGENCO and Hitachi Energy India are significant milestones for the company. The orders demonstrate BHEL’s expertise in designing and manufacturing critical power infrastructure equipment, as well as its ability to collaborate with international partners to deliver complex projects.
The orders are also significant for the Indian power sector, as they demonstrate the country’s commitment to increasing its renewable energy capacity. The BF800 HVDC Project, in particular, is a major step forward in India’s efforts to integrate renewable energy sources into the national grid.
As BHEL looks to capitalize on these orders, it is expected to continue to play a significant role in India’s power sector, driving growth and development through its expertise in designing and manufacturing heavy electrical equipment.
