The contract is for the main plant package of a 2,400 MW supercritical thermal project in s Peddapalli district in Telangana and includes complete engineering, procurement, and construction scope—from design to commissioning.
The project centers on three 800 MW units using supercritical technology, which operates at higher temperatures and pressures than conventional thermal plants, improving efficiency and reducing emissions per unit of power generated. BHEL will supply boilers, turbines, generators, and execute all civil and structural works.
India is balancing renewable energy expansion with thermal capacity additions needed for baseload stability. Supercritical plants remain critical for grid reliability despite aggressive clean energy targets. For BHEL, tight project timelines and cost controls on large EPC contracts will be key.
