Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has won an order for setting up a 800 MW ultra-supercritical thermal power plant (USTPP) on engineering, procurement and construction basis, at Yamunanagar, Haryana, from Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited under international competitive bidding.
Notably, the 1×800 MW Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Plant will be Haryana’s first ultra-supercritical technology-based power project. On commissioning, this plant will offer more efficient parameters and consume lesser coal in comparison to the existing subcritical units in the state. The proposed 800 MW unit shall be established adjacent to the existing 2×300 MW units, currently operational at Yamunanagar.
