Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), the state-owned engineering giant, has announced the successful acquisition of an order to supply and install the steam generator (boiler) island package for Phase-II of the 2×660 MW Raghunathpur Thermal Power Station (TPS), located in Purulia district, West Bengal.
The contract was awarded by Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) through international competitive bidding (ICB). BHEL is already handling the turbine and generator package for this supercritical project. Under the new order, BHEL will oversee the design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, erection, testing, and commissioning of the steam generator island package, including associated auxiliaries, civil, electrical, and structural works. The package will also include equipment for enhanced emission control.
This order further strengthens BHEL’s longstanding partnership with DVC, having already installed over 75% of DVC’s coal-based power generation capacity across the nation. Earlier this year, BHEL won another ICB contract for the 2×800 MW Koderma supercritical thermal power project. With over 1,70,000 MW of utility power capacity installed across India, BHEL remains a key player in the country’s energy sector, supporting India’s energy security and self-reliance goals.
