State-run BHEL today said it has bagged a Rs 3,800-crore order from Dainik Bhaskar Power for setting up a 1,320-MW thermal power plant in Madhya Pradesh.

"BHEL has secured a contract from an independent power producer, Dainik Bhaskar Power, for setting up a 1,320-MW thermal power plant (2x660 MW) in Madhya Pradesh," the company said in a statement.

Valued at Rs 3,783 crore, the order is for Dainik Bhaskar Power Ltd's (DBPL's) upcoming coal-based supercritical thermal power project in Singrauli District of Madhya Pradesh.

BHEL is presently executing another contract for DBPL, involving the supply and commissioning of a 2x600 MW (boiler, turbine and generator) BTG package, along with associated auxiliaries for a 1,200-MW coal-based thermal power project in Chhattisgarh.

BHEL's scope of work under the new contract envisages the design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection, testing and commissioning of supercritical boilers, steam turbines and turbo-generators along with state-of-the-art controls and instrumentation (C&I) and other associated auxiliaries like transformers and a switchyard.

Out of the total orders for power plant equipment with a cumulative generation capacity of 31,560 MW received by BHEL during 2009-10 and 2010-11, orders received from independent power producers accounted for 22,369 MW.

BHEL has established the capability to deliver 15,000 MW of power equipment per annum and further augmentation of its capacity to 20,000 MW per annum is underway.
