In an otherwise quiet day of trade, BHEL's stock was among the top gainers, up about 4.4 cent reacting positively to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) observations. The government body has identified power generation plants with capacities totalling to 72 gigawatts (GW) which need replacement to comply with the new environmental norms notified in December 2015. One GW is 1,000 megawatts.The new norms specify for reduced sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions among others. To be compliant with these norms, the power plants need to install flue-gas desulfurization units. However, given certain constraints, the CEA has identified about 72GW of power plants where installation of this unit is not feasible and hence these plants need to be refurbished to meet the emission norms. Failure to do so may result in a shut down or phasing out of the plants. Therefore with CEA identifying the plants which require refurnishing, it provides an opportunity for BHEL, the country's largest ..
