NTPC BHEL JV signs MoU with APGenco

NTPC BHEL Power Projects Private Limited (NBPPL) today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with APGenco for supply of spare parts for coal and ash handling plants and other equipment required by the Andhra Pradesh power utility’s thermal power plants.

It may be recalled that the joint venture company, NBPPL, was set up by the two public sector Maharatna companies to establish a power plant components manufacturing facility at Mannavaram in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh.

The company has already entered into an agreement for supply of spare parts required for NTPC power plants, a release stated.

Through this arrangement the spare parts for APGenco power plants can be arranged quickly and thereby minimise the forced outages, said S Vijayanand, managing director of the state power utility. Managing director of NBPPL Atul Saraya and other officials were present on this occasion.
