For BHEL, this is the second order
from the DB Group. The PSU
engineering firm is already
implementing a main plant package
order for a 2x600-mw coal-fired power
plant in Champa district. Incidentally,
Larsen & Toubro has won the balance of
plant (BoP) mandate for the
Chhattisgarh plant.
The
3,783-crore order also points
to a growing share of private sector
orders by BHEL. During fiscal years
2009-10 and 2010-11, independent
power producers accounted for 71 per
cent of the total orders received
by BHEL in the power sector. In
physical terms, private sector orders
amounted to 22,369 mw out of a total
of 31,560 mw.
As of October 5, 2011, BHEL was in
the midst of executing main plant
orders for supercritical power plants
aggregating nearly 10,000 mw
(See table). This does not include
orders in hand where physical work
has yet to begin.
