 "L&T bags Rs 1700-cr EPC order for power plant in Bangladesh")
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on September 16, 2015 received an order valued at around Rs 1700 crores from Japan’s Marubeni Corporation for setting up the Bibiyana III 400 MW combined cycle power plant project of Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB).
BPDB awarded the EPC contract for setting up the 400 MW gas based power plant project to Marubeni Corporation of Japan, which in turn awarded the EPC sub-contract to L&T on turnkey basis. This plant will be located at Nabiganj Upzila in Habiganj District of Sylhet Division, in the north-eastern sector of Bangladesh, at a distance of approximately 130 km by road from Agartala in India.
L&T’s scope of work includes design, detailed engineering, supply, installation and commissioning of the complete power plant on turnkey basis. The plant will incorporate advanced class gas turbine and generator from Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Japan, and high efficiency steam turbine and generator from Fuji Electric company, Japan, which will be procured by L&T. L&T-Sargent and Lundy, a joint venture company of L&T, will carry out the plant integration and detailed engineering, using proprietary technology of Sargent & Lundy LLC, USA.
The project will be executed by the gas-based power projects business unit of L&T Power, based in Baroda.
L&T has already executed several large gas based power projects on EPC basis for government utilities and independent power producers in India and abroad. L&T is currently executing two more gas based power projects in Bangladesh on EPC basis - the 360 MW Bheramara combined cycle power plant development project of North West Power Generation Co Ltd and the 225 MW Sikalbaha combined cycle power plant project of BPDB. Both the projects are in advanced stages of execution.
