Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has received a Letter of Award (LoA) for setting up of the main plant package for the 2x800 MW Uppur Supercritical Thermal Power Project (TPP). Against International Competitive Bidding (ICB), the company has bagged this major order for setting up the 1,600 MW coal-based thermal power project with supercritical parameters, involving two units of the country’s highest rating 800 MW sets, in Tamil Nadu. The project is slated to be commissioned by September, 2019 and the power generated from this 1,600 MW power project will help foster growth in Tamil Nadu and provide easy access to electricity to the people of the state.

The order is valued at around Rs 5,600 crore, for the main plant package for the greenfield 2x800 MW Uppur Supercritical Thermal Power Project, located in Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu, has been placed by Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO). Significantly, this is the second 800 MW rating supercritical order awarded to BHEL from TANGEDCO in less than a month, reinforcing BHEL’s position at the forefront of the power equipment industry in India.

This prestigious order comes close on the heels of the Main Plant Package contract for the 1x800 MW North Chennai Supercritical TPP Stage III in Tamil Nadu, also placed on BHEL by TANGEDCO, last month. Today, BHEL has a significant share of 83% in TANGEDCO’s cumulative coal-based generating capacity, including two 600 MW sets commissioned in 2013 at North Chennai TPP, comprising in-house designed steam turbines, the first of their kind for both BHEL and the state of Tamil Nadu.
