New Delhi: Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has secured a prestigious order under international competitive bidding, for setting up 1x800 MW Ukai supercritical thermal power plant (Unit-7) on engineering, procurement & construction (EPC) basis, in Tapi district, Gujarat. The order has been placed on BHEL by GSECL.
Notably, the proposed unit will be set up on the existing ash dyke area. BHEL’s scope of work in the project envisages design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, erection, testing, and commissioning for the EPC package, along with all necessary electrical, civil, and structural works. The scope also includes the supply of highly efficient emission control equipment.
