NEW DELHI: The state-owned power equipment manufacturer Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has bagged a 210 million order from Jindal Stainless Ltd (JSL) for its upcoming project in Orissa. The order is for the supply of equipment for a 13-megawatt (MW) captive power plant being set up as part of JSL's upcoming Duburi Stainless Steel Plant, BHEL said in a statement Tuesday. "BHEL's scope of work in the contract envisages manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of one 13-MW steam turbine generator (STG) set with associated auxiliaries and two waste heat recovery boilers (WHRB) of 28.5 tonnes per hour capacity each," an official statement said. The STG set will be manufactured and supplied by BHEL's Hyderabad plant, while the company's Tiruchirapalli unit would supply the waste heat recovery boilers. "While the STG set and one WHRB will be commissioned in 15 months, the process of erection and commissioning the project will be completed in a very tight schedule of just 16 months," BHEL stated. BHEL had earlier supplied a variety of power plant equipment for the Jindal steel plants at Raipur (Chhattisgarh) and Torangallu (Karnataka) and is now handling some repeat orders.
