Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has won an order for the renovation and modernization (R&M) of steam turbines at the Ukai Thermal Power Station (TPS) in Gujarat, despite stiff competition.
Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited has placed an order with BHEL for R&M of the 200 MW Unit-3 and the 210 MW Unit-5, valued at approximately Rs.300 Crore. BHEL is also the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of these turbine sets, which have been in operation 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, thereby making them more environment friendly.
