Toshiba JSW wins Rs 2,300-cr NTPC order

Toshiba JSW Turbine and Generator Pvt Ltd today bagged a Rs 2,300 crore order from NTPC for supply of three 800 MW supercritical steam turbine and generator island packages for the Kudgi Super Thermal Power Project in Karnataka.

Toshiba JSW recently opened its main plant facility to manufacture mid and large-sized turbines and generators in Manali here. The facility was inaugurated by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.

"The NTPC contract is the first project for which Toshiba JSW will manufacture the complete steam turbine and generator equipment at the Chennai plant," the company said in a press release.

This will be done with the support of Toshiba Keihin Product Operations in Kawasaki, Japan, which will also supply some components of the turbine and generator.

 

Delivery of the equipment is expected to start in 2013, it said.
