NTPC floats Rs 5,200 cr tender

State-run NTPC today floated a Rs 5,200 crore tender to source equipment for its beleaguered Kawas and Gandhar expansion projects in Gujarat for which the company is fighting a legal battle with Reliance Industries.

"We have issued the tender for 1300 MW Kawas and Gandhar each expansion projects in Gujarat," a company official said.

The value of the tender would be around Rs 5,200 crore. BHEL, and Larsen and Toubro are likely to bid for the tender.

NTPC is in a legal tussle with Mukesh Ambani-led RIL for supply of gas for these projects. The case is pending in the Bombay High Court.
