L&T bags over Rs 1100 cr Power Plant EPC order from GSECL

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has received an order valued over Rs 1100 crore from Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL), a Government of Gujarat company, to set up a 1 x 375 MW gas based power plant at Dhuvaran, near Baroda in Gujarat, on EPC basis.

The EPC order was bagged by L&T under global competitive bidding against stiff competition from Domestic and International power plant equipment manufacturers.

L&T’s  scope  includes  design,  detailed  engineering,  supply,  installation  and commissioning of the complete power plant on a turnkey basis. The plant will incorporate state-of-art advanced class Gas Turbines and high efficiency Steam Turbines from Siemens AG, Germany, which will be procured by L&T.

L&T-Sargent & Lundy, a subsidiary of L&T, will carry out the plant integration and detailed engineering, using propriety technology of Sargent & Lundy LLC, USA. L&T will design and manufacture critical equipment for the plant, like heat recovery steam generator,  de-aerator,  condenser,  cooling  tower,  switchgear  and  valves.  Project management, construction, installation and commissioning will also be carried out by L&T.

This project will be executed by the Gas Based Power Projects Business Unit of L&T Power, based in Baroda, and will be commissioned during 12th plan period, within 30 months from date of notice to proceed. L&T’s well established strengths in design, engineering and construction, accompanied with robust quality and safety standards, and on-time delivery are vital contributors to its success in the power industry.

L&T has already executed several large gas based power projects and has recently commissioned a 238.5 MW cogeneration power plant for Indian Oil Corporation Limited at Panipat in Haryana, whereas another large 2 x 384 MW gas based power plant for GMR Group is at an advanced stage of execution at Vemagiri in Andhra Pradesh on EPC basis.
