The company will manufacture key equipment for the project at its Trichy, Haridwar, Bhopal, Ranipet, Hyderabad, Jhansi and Bangalore facilities in India. BHEL’s Power Sector – Eastern Region will be responsible for civil works and erection / commissioning of the equipment.
Supercritical sets operating on higher supercritical steam parameters (593°C / 593°C at 260ata) will be supplied for the project.
The supercritical sets will result in reduced consumption of coal by the power plant. Equipped with air cooled condensers, the machines will address the issue of water scarcity in the area.
In February 2013, the Indian Cabinet Committee on Investment (CCI) has approved the proposal of the Ministry of Power for developing North Karanpura STPP by NTPC in the vicinity of Tandwa town, Chatra district in Jharkhand. The CCI has also agreed to restore the original coal linkage for the project.
