EM NEWS BUREAU ,  Wednesday, April 20, 2011, 14:49 Hrs  [IST]

Reliance Infrastructure Ltd (RInfra) has won a Rs.jpg7,200-crore EPC turnkey contract from group company Reliance Power Ltd for the 2,400-mw Samalkot gas-fired power plant in Andhra Pradesh. The combined cycle gas plant is believed to be the largest gas-based power plant in India, by current thinking.

Samalkot CCPP will deploy efficient, green and robust technology; the project would commence power generation by as early as 2011-end. Orders for gas and steam turbines have already been placed on GE, USA.

The Samalkot CCPP EPC contract is the third significant power project bagged by RInfra EPC from Reliance Power. The other EPC contracts were for the Sasan UMPP in Madhya Pradesh and Butibouri coal-fired power project in Maharashtra. Reliance Power is building over 15,000 mw of new thermal power capacity with six projects under construction (see table.)

With the Samalkot EPC order under its belt, the total EPC order book of Reliance Infrastructure Ltd now stands at Rs.jpg30,700 crore ($6.8 billion).
