Alstom–Bharat Forge JV got an EPC Contract for NTPCs Solarpur, Maharashtra project…

Power India found that National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) has awarded an Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply, Erection and Commissioning contract to Alstom Bharat Forge Power Limited (ABFPL – A Joint Venture between Bharat Forge Ltd and Alstom Projects) for 2 X 660 MW Supercritical steam ‘turbine generator islands’ (TG Islands) for NTPC’s upcoming project at Solapur, Maharashtra.

 

Power India further found that, ABFPL had also emerged as the lowest bidder in NTPC’s bulk tender for supply of 11x660 MW super critical TG islands last year.

As part of this bulk tender, besides this award for Solapur Project, as per the tender conditions, ABFPL may also get an additional order for 3 units for the Nabinagar Project from Nabinagar Power Generating Co. Pvt. Ltd (NPGCPL), a JV between NTPC and Bihar State Electricity Board (BSEB).

 

An LoI for this proejct is already with ABFPL.

Supercritical plants use steam with very high temperatures and pressure, resulting in a much higher efficiency than conventional coal-fired plants. This results in lesser consumption of coal and lower emissions per unit of power produces.

ABFPL's state-of-art manufacturing facility with an annual capacity of 5000 MW is expected to be commissioned at Mundra in Gujarat by 2013.

Once completed, this largest integrated manufacturing facility for power equipment in the private sector will play a crucial role in the expansion of generation capacity in India.

This will address the rising electricity demand for India's rapidly growing economy and will also demonstrate the partner's resolve to make India a global manufacturing hub for technologically advanced power equipment
