L&T Energy Power wins FGD order in West Bengal

Mumbai, India - In a significant development, the Power business arm of Larsen & Toubro (L&T Energy - Power) has successfully secured an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) order from West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited. The order pertains to the installation of wet Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) systems for the Thermal Power Plant located at Sagardighi in West Bengal.

A notable aspect of this project is its distinctive features, which include three FGD absorbers designed to serve four thermal power units, comprising 2x300 MW and 2x500 MW capacities. Additionally, the balance of plant systems to be installed will cater to five units of the power plant. Importantly, this marks a significant milestone for L&T as it represents the company's first FGD project from a state-owned power utility.

The installation of FGD systems in both existing and upcoming thermal power plants has been mandated by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India. This directive is aimed at curbing sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, aligning with the government's environmental preservation efforts.

With this latest order, Larsen & Toubro is positioned to undertake FGD projects for thermal power plants totalling more than 19 GW, actively contributing to the Government of India's initiative to reduce SO2 emissions.
