NTPC and Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) are to float Global Tenders for sourcing supercritical power equipment for five power plants.The equipment would kick-start five power projects across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
The two power utilities would jointly invite ICB for bulk supply of super-critical power equipment for 11 units of 660 MW each. The tender
terms have a clause making domestic manufacturing mandatory in stages.So far five companies have shown interest: BHEL, L&T-Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) combine, Alstom-Bharat Forge, Toshiba-JSW and Italian company Ansaldo Caldie. Participation from even Chinese, Russian and a few East European companies is also expected.
Out of the 11 supercritical units, nine would be used by NTPC for its projects while two will be used by DVC. It has been decided that NTPC would invite two separate international competitive bids (ICB)—one for all boilers and the second for steam turbine generator (STG) islands—instead of a single common boiler-turbine-generator (BTG) bulk package.
