The Indian power sector has seen an uptick in the ordering of emission control equipment due to the revised and more stringent emission norms notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in December, 2015. The notification calls for installation of equipment to control various harmful emissions, both in existing as well as new thermal power projects.
Reaffirming its commitment towards a better environment, BHEL is fully geared up to tap the huge market potential and ready to manufacture and supply emission control equipment for Indian thermal power plants to meet these revised emission norms.
Earlier, BHEL has successfully executed the FGD system at Tata Power's Trombay Unit 8 in 2008 and is currently installing FGD systems at NTPC's 3x250 MW Bongaigaon project. The company has also recently received orders for installation of FGD system at 5x800 MW at dadri project of TSGENCO and 2x660 MW Maitree project in Bangladesh. With the ordering of Dadri, BHEL has contracted FGD orders for 13 units till date.
BHEL's plan to indigenously manufacture major equipment for emission control provides a twin boost to the Government's plan of ‘Make in India' and it's Intended National Determined Contributions (INDC) for limiting the carbon footprint of the nation.
