The company said in a BSE filing that APIL would supply 4 x 125 MW Francis turbines and generators as well as the main inlet valves and control and protection systems, as per the contract agreement.
The contract also includes design, engineering, erection, testing and commissioning. The order will be fully executed by APIL’s facility in Vadodara, India, with the project scheduled for completion by 2013.
