YOKOHAMA - L&T-MHPS Boilers Private Limited, a joint venture between Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd (MHPS) and Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T) has received an order for two large-scale supercritical-pressure boilers, with an output of 660 megawatts each. The boilers will beinstalled in Unit 1 and 2 of a supercritical-pressure thermal power generation plant in Tanda, which NTPC Ltd, a state-owned thermal power provider in India, is newly constructing. L&T is a leading construction firm and heavy machinery manufacturer in India.
Handover and start of operation of the boilers are scheduled for July 2018 for Unit 1 and January 2019 for Unit 2. The order brings the total number of supercritical-pressure boiler ordered from India to MHPS to 11 units.
L&T-MHPS Boilers undertakes production and supply of the two units as well as their installation and commissioning at the site. MHPS will supply pressure parts, core components of the two large-scale boilers, to L&T-MHPS Boilers. The new thermal power plant will be built in the Tanda district of Uttar Pradesh state in northern India. When the new plant goes on stream, it will support the region's expanding power demand.
NTPC is India's largest power provider, accounting for nearly 25 percent share in the thermal power generation in India. Established in 1975, the company offers services in thermal power plant construction, operation and related consulting, and also engages in the development of hydroelectric power generation infrastructure.
As India has marked robust economic development in recent years, expansion in power generation capacity has been unable to keep pace with rapidly increasing demand, resulting in serious power shortages in some regions. To remedy this situation, the country has launched many large-scale projects to develop new power sources. Construction of the Tanda Power Plant is part of this broad initiative.
