State-owned power equipment maker BhelBSE 2.60 % today said it has bagged over Rs 5,000 crore contract for executing a thermal power project in Telangana.
“Telangana State Power Generation Corporation (TSGENCO) has awarded Bhel with an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) order for setting up a 1,080 MW thermal power plant in the state,” Bhel said in a statement.
“Valued at over Rs 5,000 crore, the order envisages setting up a thermal plant at Manuguru in Khammam District of Telangana,” it said, adding that the project is targeted to be commissioned in 24 months.
Bhel’s scope of work in the project includes design, engineering, manufacture, supply, construction, erection, testing and commissioning of 4×270 MW thermal sets on EPC basis.
All these power plants are expected to commence generation within the next three years to meet Telangana’s increasing demand for power.
In December 2014, TSGENCO had placed an order for Bhel to set up Telangana’s energy efficient and environment freindly supercritical thermal power plant also on EPC basis, at Kothagudem.
