BHEL Bags New Orders from MAHAGENCO & Hitachi Energy India
In a significant development for the Indian power sector, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), a leading heavy electrical equipment company, has secured two major orders. The first order, worth ₹8,000 crore, is from MAHAGENCO (Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited) for the BTG (Boiler, Turbine, and Generator) package of the 2×660 MW Koradi Thermal Power Station. The second order, in consortium with Hitachi Energy India, is for the BF800 HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current) Project, involving the design and execution of an HVDC link to transmit 6000 MW of renewable energy.
The order from MAHAGENCO is a significant boost to BHEL’s thermal power business, which has been a key driver of the company’s growth in recent years. The Koradi Thermal Power Station is one of the largest thermal power plants in the country, and this order will enable BHEL to further strengthen its presence in the Indian power sector. The BTG package involves the design, manufacture, and supply of boilers, turbines, and generators, as well as the installation and commissioning of the equipment.
The second order, in consortium with Hitachi Energy India, is a major win for BHEL in the renewable energy space. The BF800 HVDC Project is a significant development in India’s journey towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. The project involves the design and execution of an HVDC link to transmit 6000 MW of renewable energy from the renewable energy sources to the national grid. This will enable the efficient transmission of renewable energy over long distances, reducing the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and minimizing carbon emissions.
The order is a testament to BHEL’s capabilities in the renewable energy space, where the company has been actively involved in the design and execution of several projects in recent years. The consortium with Hitachi Energy India, a global leader in HVDC technology, will enable BHEL to leverage the expertise and experience of both companies to deliver a world-class solution for the BF800 HVDC Project.
The orders are a significant boost to BHEL’s order book, which has been growing steadily in recent years. The company has been aggressively pursuing new business opportunities in both the domestic and international markets, and these orders are a testament to its success in this endeavor.

In conclusion, BHEL’s orders from MAHAGENCO and Hitachi Energy India are a significant development for the Indian power sector.
