Bhopal: India's giant Public Sector Undertaking Bharat
Heavy Electricals Limited, (BHEL), and Madhya Pradesh Power
Generation Company Limited, (MPPGCL), have formed a Joint Venture
Company, (JVC), to Build, Own and Operate a 2x800 MW Thermal Power
Plant with Supercritical parameters at Khandwa in Madhya Pradesh.
BHEL and MPPGCL have
set up the JVC with initial equity equally subscribed by both the
partners. Subsequently, the equity would be diluted so that the
stake of both BHEL and MPPGCL is reduced to 26 per cent each and the
balance equity of 48 per cent is subscribed to by Financial
Institutions/ Banks and other partners. The order for setting up of
the power project would be placed on BHEL by the JVC on a nominated
basis.
It may be pointed out
here that BHEL has upgraded its technology base from sub-critical
sets to supercritical sets of 660/800 MW and above. The company has
ongoing collaboration agreements with Alstom, France and Siemens,
Germany, with a technology transfer arrangement. This will enable
the country to be self-reliant in the field of supercritical thermal
power plants.
Meanwhile, the
development of this project would be taken up on priority. The first
unit of the coal-based power plant would come up within 48 months of
the order being placed on BHEL with the second unit will get
operational within 54 months. To this end, BHEL will initiate
advance action for pre-engineering activities. The Turbine Generator
units of 800 MW would be manufactured by BHEL at its Haridwar plant,
while the once-through supercritical boilers, would be manufactured
at BHEL’s Tiruchy plant.
Supercritical
technology ensures lower coal consumption, lower emission,
eco-friendly and efficient power generation. The project also
qualifies for carbon credits under Clean Development Mechanism, (CDM).
BHEL has been promoting joint venture companies to build, own and
operate supercritical thermal power plants in association with state
utilities. BHEL has already set up two such joint ventures with TNEB
for a 2x800 MW power plant at Udangudi in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu and
with KPCL for the 2x660/800MW and 1x660/800MW at Yeramarus and
Edlapur in Raichur, Karnataka.
It may be mentioned
here that BHEL has been committed to the nation’s power development
programme and has reaffirmed its commitment to the Indian Power
Sector by equipping itself for the future, by way of technology,
facilities and trained manpower to meet the country’s power forecast
for the 11th Plan and beyond. It has already enhanced its
manufacturing capacity to 10,000 MW per annum and is further
augmenting it to 15,000 MW per annum which is proceeding apace and
plans are afoot to hike it further to 20,000 MW by 2011-12.
The Joint Venture
Agreement was signed in the presence of Madhya Pradesh Chief
Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Federal Minister of State for Heavy
Industries & Public Enterprises Arun Yadav, Madhya Pradesh Minister
of State for Energy & Mineral Resources, Rajendra Shukla, and BHEL
Chairman & Managing Director B.P. Rao in Bhopal.
