BHEL wins first commercial order Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has won its first commercial order valued at Rs 1,474 crore for 660 MW Steam Turbine Generators from NTPC, with supercritical parameters against International Competitive Bidding (ICB). The order is for setting up the 2x660 mega watt steam turbine generator package at Barh Thermal Power Project Stage-II, located about 75 km from Patna in Bihar. The supercritical steam parameters for this project are higher than those for the other supercritical projects presently under installation by NTPC at Sipat and Barh Stage-I, resulting in higher efficiency. BHEL will design, engineer, manufacture, supply, erect and commission two Steam Turbine Generator sets of 660 MW each along with associated auxiliaries. The turbine generators will be manufactured by BHEL at its Haridwar works, while the company’s Hyderabad plant will supply the pumps and heaters. The construction of the plant will be undertaken by BHEL’s Power Sector — Eastern Region, Kolkata.
