State-run power equipment maker BHEL has won a major order for the supply of two 800 MW steam generators with supercritical parameters from NTPC after outbidding competitors in an open global tender.

"Valued at nearly Rs 3,500 crore, the contract has been placed on BHEL by NTPC Ltd, for setting up the 2x800 MW Steam Generator (SG) island package at Telangana Super Thermal Power Project (TnSTPP)," BHEL said in a press release.

State-run BHEL today said that it has bagged an order of Rs 2,759 crore for setting up a unit of supercritical thermal power project in Tamil Nadu.

"Significantly, this will be the first ever 800 Mw supercritical set based power plant in the state," BHEL said.

The government is planning to opt for the buyback route, instead of an offer for sale (OFS), for divesting its stake in Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) and National Aluminium Company (Nalco) so that it can get higher prices from the stake sale.

The government expects to garner around R9,000 crore from these buybacks whereas OFS is likely to fetch R5,600 crore at the current market valuations.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) added record capacity of 5,010 Mw of utility power projects in the first three quarters of the current financial year (2015-16).

"In addition, projects aggregating to 2,270 Mw have also been synchronised by BHEL during this period and are available for capacity addition," said the company.
