Hitachi has received an order from its Indian partner BGR Energy Systems and NTPC for two steam turbine generators for the Lara Super Thermal Power Project, a new 800 MW supercritical coal-fired power plant in the state of Chhattisgarh in India. BGR Energy Systems is the lead contractor for this new order, and Hitachi will supply the key equipment for two steam turbine generators through BGR Turbines. Operation of two units for Lara Project is scheduled to commence in 2016.
NTPC is currently planning the construction of nine supercritical coal-fired power plants at four different sites, and in September 2011 BGR Energy Systems was awarded preferred bidder status for four steam turbine generators at two different sites. Hitachi and BGR Energy Systems established a joint-venture, BGR Turbines Company Private Limited, in September 2010 to manufacture steam turbine generators for coal-fired power generation to the rapidly growing Indian market.
