14 Feb 2025 CW Team

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has secured a major order under domestic competitive bidding, for setting up the 2x660 MW Koradi supercritical thermal power station (Units 11 & 12), in Nagpur district, Maharashtra. The order has been placed on BHEL by MAHAGENCO. BHEL's scope of work in the project envisages design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, erection, testing, and commissioning of the main plant package (Boiler, Turbine & Generator) and associated auxiliaries, along with all necessary electrical, civil, and structural works. The scope also includes the supply of advanced, high-efficiency emission control equipment. BHEL sets contribute over 75% of MAHAGENCO's installed coal-based generating capacity for the state of Maharashtra, and the company is also currently executing the utility's 660 MW Bhusawal project in the state. As India's foremost power equipment manufacturer, with over 1,70,000 MW of utility power capacity installed across the country, BHEL continues to play a pivotal role in bolstering India's energy security and supporting the vision of self-reliance in the power sector. Meanwhile, National Productivity Week, 2025 was inaugurated today at BHEL, Bhopal by SM Ramanathan, Executive Director by administering the Productivity Pledge to all senior officials. PK Upadhyay, General Manager (Operations), all General Managers and DROs were present on the occasion. The theme of National Productivity Week this year was "From Ideas to Impact: Protecting Intellectual Property for Competitive Startups". In his address, Shri Ramanathan said that all employees should be equally encouraged to increase productivity in the company. Intellectual Property (IP) is very important for the success of a startup in an innovation driven economy. A solid Intellectual Property (IP) strategy protects innovations, increases valuation, strengthens market position and attracts investments. He said that by optimizing resources in conjunction with startup productivity tools and methodologies, costs can be reduced and growth can be accelerated.
