Continuing its project commissioning momentum, Bharat Heavy Electricals limited (BHEl) has successfully commissioned another 195 MW thermal unit in Bihar.
This is the second 195 MW unit to be commissioned by BHEl by way of a joint venture of NTPC ltd and BSPGCl in Bihar. The first 195 MW unit at Muzaffarpur TPS Stage-II was commissioned earlier by BHEl in March 15.
BHEl is the leading supplier of coal-based main plant equipment to NTPC and its joint ventures with an over 80% share in their installed capacity.
BHEl’s scope of work in the Muzaffarpur project envisaged design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of Steam Turbines, Generators and Boilers, along with associated Auxiliaries and Electricals, besides state-of-the-art Controls and Instrumentation and Electrostatic Precipitators.
Earlier, in the 1980s, BHEl had executed two units of 110 MW each at this project, which are still operational.
