Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has won a Rs 3,700-crore order from Karnataka Power Corporation Ltd (KPCL) for setting up a 700 Mw thermal power station at Bellary, on a turn-key basis.
The station already has a BHEL-supplied 500 Mw unit, while a second one of the same size is presently being established, also by BHEL.
BHEL has commissioned about 5,000 Mw of power generating sets in the state, thermal and hydro, said a company statement.
It is also executing the 2x800 Mw Yermarus supercritical thermal power station of Raichur Power Corporation, a joint venture between KPCL and BHEL, which has been set up to build, own and operate supercritical thermal power plants in Karnataka.
