The scope includes design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, erection, commissioning and testing of boiler, turbine and generator (BTG) systems together with associated civil and structural works. The contract was awarded following an international competitive bidding process after Bhel emerged as the successful bidder in October 2024 and received a limited notice to proceed in November 2024 to commence basic engineering. The formal award confirms Bhel’s role for delivery of the project.

The project is scheduled for completion within 62 months from the date of award and will proceed under the timelines established in the contract.
