Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has achieved a major landmark in its After-Market-Service business by successfully renovating, modernizing and up-rating 110 MW Unit-4 at Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plant of Punjab State Power Corporation (PSPCL) at Bathinda. After successfully running for over 33 years, this unit, originally supplied and commissioned by BHEL, was undertaken for Renovation & Modernization (R&M).
Following the R&M, not only was the working life of the machine extended by another 15-20 years, the capacity was also uprated to 120 MW from its original capacity of 110 MW. The unit has achieved the uprated capacity of 120 MW on July 23, 2014.
BHEL has been committed to the nation's power development programme and has reaffirmed its commitment to the Indian Power Sector by equipping itself by way of contemporary technology, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and skilled technical manpower.
