 "BHEL starts 600-MW thermal power plant in Telangana")
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has commissioned another 600 MW coal-based thermal power plant in Telangana. The unit has been commissioned at the 2x600 MW Singareni Thermal Power Project (TPP) located in Adilabad district in Telangana. The project has been developed by Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), India's second largest coal mining company.
This is the second 600 MW unit commissioned by BHEL at Singareni TPP. The first unit of the project was earlier commissioned in March 2016.
BHEL-built 600 MW rating sets comprise a 4 cylinder turbine, which is designed in-house, amply demonstrating the engineering prowess of BHEL. So far, the company has contracted 21 sets of 600 MW each, of which 17 have already been commissioned. A large number of similar sets ensure easy availability of spares and operator’s familiarity.
BHEL has a major contribution in Telangana's power sector, with over 85 percent of the coal-based power stations, amounting to 5,740 MW, having been commissioned by BHEL.
Reposing confidence in BHEL’s capability of setting up power plants, proven technological excellence and superior performance of its equipment, the Telangana state utility has placed orders on BHEL for executing around 6,000 MW of thermal power projects in the state, on engineering, procurement & construction (EPC) basis.
