Gencos and gear makers to be nudged by the govt to join hands for EPC bids

New Delhi: Muted response to thermal engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) bids has prompted the government to encourage consortia of companies to bid for upcoming contracts for supply of thermal power equipment.

The move comes in light of state-owned Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) emerging as the winner of three consecutive large contracts to set up power plants.
