State-owned engineering giant Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has clinched a substantial contract from power behemoth NTPC, worth more than Rs 95 billion, to establish a 1,600 MW Singrauli thermal power project (Stage-II) in Uttar Pradesh.

In a regulatory filing on Tuesday, BHEL revealed the significant order it secured, affirming its role in bolstering India's power infrastructure. The project, dubbed the Singrauli Super Thermal Power Project, Stage-III, encompasses the installation of two units, each with a capacity of 800 MW, situated in Sonebhadra District, Uttar Pradesh.

The engineering firm outlined its timeline for the project, aiming to complete Unit 1 within 50 months and Unit 2 within 54 months. The scope of work encompasses the supply of essential equipment, erection, and commissioning, alongside civil works, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the undertaking.

This achievement not only underscores BHEL's prowess in executing large-scale projects but also reaffirms its partnership with NTPC, a longstanding collaboration that has been instrumental in advancing India's power sector. The Singrauli thermal power project is poised to contribute significantly to the nation's energy landscape, catering to the escalating demand for electricity.

BHEL's successful bid for this project further solidifies its position as a leading player in the engineering and construction domain, showcasing its ability to deliver sophisticated infrastructure solutions in line with the nation's developmental objectives.

With this latest endeavor, BHEL continues its legacy of excellence in the power sector, epitomizing its commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainable development.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..

What Does DCPR 2034 Mean?

The Maharashtra government has eased approval norms for high-rise buildings under DCPR 2034, enabling the municipal commissioner to sanction projects up to 180 m on large plots. This change is expected to streamline approvals, reduce procedural delays and accelerate redevelopment, drawing reactions from developers, planners and industry experts about its implications for Mumbai’s vertical growth.Under the revised DCPR 2034 rules, buildings on plots of 2,000 sq m or more can now be approved up to 180 m by the municipal commissioner, provided structural and geotechnical reports are certified b..
