Under the terms of the contract, BHEL will be responsible for designing, engineering, manufacturing, supplying, erection, testing and commissioning the two 800MW steam generators and associated auxiliaries for the Darlipali TPP.

The key equipment for the project will be manufactured at BHEL’s plants located at Trichy and Ranipet in Tamil Nadu, Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh and Bangalore in Karnataka.

"Once completed, the project will supply 50% of electricity to the state."

The civil works and erection/commissioning of the equipment is expected to be carried out by the company’s power division in southern part of the country.
