The company manufactured the key equipment for the project at its facilities in Haridwar, Bhopal, Ranipet, Hyderabad, Jhansi, Thirumayam and Bengaluru.
Additionally, the plant's construction work has been undertaken by the company's Power Sector- Southern Region.
Till date, Bhel has commissioned 4,010MW of coal-based sets for KPCL & its joint ventures.
The company is currently executing first gas-based combined cycle power project with 370MW capacity for KPCL. The project features fuel-efficient advanced-class gas turbine at Yelahanka.
In January, Bhel commissioned the second 500MW thermal unit at Sagardighi Thermal Power Station (TPS) Phase II project in Murshidabad district of West Bengal.
The first unit of the 1,000MW project was commissioned earlier in December 2015 for the state-owned West Bengal Power Development Corporation (WBPDCL).
Bhel has secured orders for a total of 48 supercritical Steam Generators (SG) and 41 supercritical Steam turbine generators (STG).
