“BHEL commissions 500 MW thermal power plant ”

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has commissioned the 500 MW Unit-6 of NTPC Ltd's Feroze Gandhi Unchahar Thermal Power Plant (FGUTPP) in Uttar Pradesh. For the  project  located  at  Unchahar  in  Rae  Bareli  district  of  UP,  BHEL  was awarded the contract for the manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of Boiler, Turbine, Generator & associated auxiliaries, Electricals, Switchyard  and Station Controls & Instrumentation.

The  key  equipment  for  the  project  has  been  manufactured  by  BHEL  at  its Haridwar, Trichy, Hyderabad, Bhopal, Ranipet and Bengaluru works, while the construction of the plant was undertaken by the company's Power Sector-Northern Region. Notably, all the existing 5 units of 210 MW at FGUTPP, have also been commissioned earlier by BHEL.

BHEL-make 500 MW sets today form the backbone of the Indian power sector and have  been  performing  much  above  the  national  average as well as international benchmarks. BHEL has already established its engineering prowess in the past through successfully delivering higher rated units such as 600 MW, 660 MW, 700 MW and 800 MW thermal sets having a high degree of indigenisation.
