State-owned Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has won a Rs 75 billion contract to establish an 800 MW unit at the Ukai Supercritical Thermal Power Plant in Gujarat. The order was placed by Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Ltd (GSECL) under international competitive bidding.

The project, located in Tapi district, will be executed on an Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) basis. BHEL’s scope of work includes design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, testing, and commissioning, along with all necessary electrical, civil, and structural works.
