The group background was noted, with Dangote Group described as one of Africa's largest and most diversified conglomerates.

The company has previously executed an order for the supply and supervision of erection and commissioning of a 26 megawatt (MW) gas turbine generator package to the government of Cross River State in Nigeria. BHEL has been manufacturing and supplying gas turbines to domestic and international customers for over four decades and is regarded as one of the world's leading manufacturers of gas turbines and generators.
