India’s state-owned company Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has commissioned a 700MW supercritical thermal unit at Bellary Thermal Power Project (TPP) in the Indian state of Karnataka.

BHEL was selected by Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) for the thermal unit through a international competitive bidding on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis.

The $833.8m contract for third thermal unit was awarded by KPCL in 2010.

TPP already runs two thermal units, which each have a capacity of 500MW. They were supplied and installed by BHEL.

BHEL has supplied and executed 3,210MW of sets in the state to date, which account for 94% of the coal-based installed capacity of KPCL.

The company is also carrying out a 1,600MW supercritical thermal power project at Yeramarus and the 370MW gas-based Yelahanka combined cycle power project (CCPP).
