The contract encompasses two major components. The first involves the ex-works supply of equipment, materials, spares, tools, and instruments necessary for the project's successful execution. The second will see BHEL be responsible for providing an array of services, including model testing, inland transportation (along with inland insurance) for safe delivery at the project site, unloading, storage, handling, installation, testing, and commissioning of the supplied equipment. The contract also mandates the performance testing of all the supplied equipment to ensure optimal functionality.

This package entails essential components such as turbines, generators, digital governing systems, static excitation systems, transformers, bus reactors, gas-insulated switchgear, outdoor pot yard and switchyard equipment, as well as electrical and mechanical Balance of Plant (BoP) components.

Notably, the primary equipment for this project will be manufactured at various BHEL plants located in Bhopal, Bengaluru, Jhansi, and Rudrapur. The on-site execution, on the other hand, will be overseen by BHEL's Power Sector Eastern Region division, Kolkata.

The new contract comes on the heels of BHEL recently securing a Rs 4,000 crore order from Mahan Energen Limited, formerly known as Essar Power MP Limited.
