BHEL Wins Big With NTPC Thermal Power Project in Telangana

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has secured a major win after it bags Rs 13,500 crore NTPC thermal power project in Telangana, marking one of its largest recent contracts and reinforcing its position in India’s power equipment sector.

The order, awarded by NTPC Limited, involves setting up a 3x800 MW supercritical thermal power project in the Peddapalli district. With a total capacity of 2,400 MW, the project is expected to play a key role in meeting the country’s rising electricity demand.

Under the agreement, BHEL will handle the complete scope of work, including design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of the main plant package. This covers critical components such as boilers, turbines, and generators, along with civil and structural works.
