BHEL gets order for R&M at Ukai TPS, Gujarat
In the face of stiff competitive bidding, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has won an order for the Renovation & Modernisation (R&M) of steam turbines at Ukai Thermal Power Station (TPS) in Gujarat.
Valued at about Rs 300 Crore, the order for R&M of the 200 MW Unit-3 and the 210 MW Unit-5, has been placed on BHEL by Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited. Significantly, BHEL is also the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of these turbine sets which have been successfully operating for around 40 years, before being taken up for R&M.
The R&M work being undertaken by BHEL will not only extend the life and reliability of Units-3 & 5 at Ukai TPS, but also improve the efficiency levels of these turbines addressing the problems of technical obsolescence,
