Hyderabad: National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) plant at Ramagundam in Karimnagar district will soon get two supercritical steam turbines to meet the increasing power demand of southern States. Alstom Bharat Forge Power Pvt Ltd, the joint venture company between GE and Bharat Forge Ltd, has signed a contract to supply two steam turbines worth USD 219 million (Rs 1,495 crore) to the State-owned NTPC Ltd.
“The company will supply two units of 800 MW ultra- supercritical steam turbine generator islands, on EPC basis, along with related civil work for the Telangana super thermal power project Phase-1 near Ramagundam in Karimnagar district,” the company said in a statement here. The total power demand from the southern region is 34,000 mw.
“The 800 mw steam turbine generator islands for the power plant will be the first with ultra-supercritical parameters and will help in meeting the ever increasing power demand of southern States in India by adding a much needed 1,600 MW to the electricity grid,” the statement said.
The equipment for the project will be manufactured majorly at the company’s facility at Sanand in Gujarat.
