21 Sep 2015 Evaluate

Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has commenced first unit of the upcoming 3x660 MW Supercritical Thermal Power Plant at Mirchwara in Lalitpur district of Bundelkhand in Uttar Pradesh. This is the first Supercritical unit set up in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The unit has been set up at the 3x660 MW Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project (STPP). Lalitpur STPP is being developed by Lalitpur Power Generation Company (LPGCL), promoted by the Bajaj Hindusthan group. The main plant package contract of this 1,980 MW power plant is being executed by the company.

The unit has been synchronized by the company three months ahead of the schedule agreed between LPGCL and BHEL. This has been made possible by compressing the erection and commissioning cycle, through the combined efforts of LPGCL and BHEL. Since its synchronization in June, 2015, the unit has been available and operating smoothly at the maximum load as permitted by the grid.

The commencement of the unit by the company will result in improvement of power availability in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The second and third units of the project are also in advanced stages of completion.

Further, in Uttar Pradesh, three supercritical thermal units at Bara (3x660 MW) and the second 500 MW unit at Anpara, being set up by BHEL, are also in advanced stages of completion. 

BHEL is the leading power equipment manufacturer in the country with 41 sets of supercritical boilers and 36 sets of supercritical turbine generators ordered on it by various customers. These orders have been received from Central, State as well as private sector utilities, who have reposed confidence in the company.
