BHEL Bags New Orders from MAHAGENCO & Hitachi Energy India
In a significant development for the Indian power sector, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has secured two major orders, further strengthening its position as a leading heavy electrical equipment company in the country. The first order, valued at ₹8,000 crore, has been bagged from Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited (MAHAGENCO) for the BTG package of the 2×660 MW Koradi Thermal Power Station. The second order, in consortium with Hitachi Energy India, involves the design and execution of an HVDC link to transmit 6000 MW of renewable energy.
The order from MAHAGENCO is a significant milestone for BHEL, as it marks the company’s entry into the thermal power sector in the state of Maharashtra. The BTG package, which includes boiler, turbine, and generator (BTG) equipment, is a critical component of the 2×660 MW Koradi Thermal Power Station. The project, located in the Nagpur district of Maharashtra, is expected to generate 2,664 MW of power, making it one of the largest thermal power plants in the country.
BHEL’s expertise in designing and manufacturing high-capacity boilers, turbines, and generators will be leveraged to deliver this massive project. The company has a proven track record of executing similar projects in the past, and this order is expected to further enhance its reputation as a reliable and capable player in the power sector.
The second order, in consortium with Hitachi Energy India, is equally significant, as it involves the design and execution of an HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current) link to transmit 6000 MW of renewable energy. HVDC technology is used to transmit power over long distances, and this project is expected to play a crucial role in integrating renewable energy sources into the national grid.
BHEL’s expertise in designing and executing HVDC projects will be leveraged to deliver this project, which is expected to be completed by 2025. The project is a testament to BHEL’s ability to partner with international companies and deliver complex projects that have a significant impact on the power sector.
The orders, valued at ₹160.15 crore, are a significant fillip to BHEL’s order book, which has been facing challenges in recent times. The company has been working hard to diversify its revenue streams and expand its presence in the domestic and international markets.
“BHEL’s entry into the thermal power sector in Maharashtra is a significant milestone for the company,” said a senior executive at BHEL. “We are pleased to have secured these orders, which demonstrate our expertise in designing and executing complex power projects. We are committed to delivering these projects on time and to the required quality standards.”
BHEL’s orders from MAHAGENCO and Hitachi Energy India are a testament to the company’s ability to deliver complex projects and its commitment to the power sector. The company’s expertise in designing and executing projects, combined with its reputation for delivering high-quality products and services, makes it a preferred partner for many companies in the power sector.
In conclusion, BHEL’s orders from MAHAGENCO and Hitachi Energy India are a significant development for the Indian power sector. The company’s expertise in designing and executing complex power projects, combined with its reputation for delivering high-quality products and services, makes it a preferred partner for many companies in the power sector. As the company continues to deliver these projects, it is expected to further strengthen its position as a leading heavy electrical equipment company in the country.
