India's efforts to boost domestic hi-tech power equipment manufacturing have suffered a jolt, with just two firms showing interest in locally building so-called supercritical boilers.The US, Japan, Germany, South Korea and Russia have taken the lead in manufacturing supercritical equipment such as boilers and turbines, which improve the efficiency of power plants and are environment-friendly.Domestic push: An NTPC power plant at Rihand, Madhya Pradesh. The firm floated a Rs40,000 cr tender for supercritical equipment.State-run power generation firm NTPC Ltd recently floated a Rs40,000 crore tender for supercritical power projects, inviting bids to supply 11 boilers and 11 turbines of 660MW each. Nine packages of boilers and turbines are meant for NTPC's projects and two for Damodar Valley Corp.The tender said the winner would have to set up factories in India to develop the local power generation equipment manufacturing industry. Such projects typically tend to be capital-intensive, with investment running into several thousand crores of rupees.Five companies bid for supplying the turbines, but just two-Larsen and Toubro Ltd (L&T) and state-owned Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (Bhel)- bid for the boilers.The poor response has disappointed the power ministry."While we were looking at more response from the industry, we have received only two bids for boilers. We need substantial power generation equipment capacity in the country, given the demand," power secretary H.S. Brahma said.India expects to add 62,000MW to its current power generation capacity of 153,000MW by 2012. Orders for 42,431.58MW have been placed with Bhel, the country's largest power equipment maker, which has an annual capacity of 10,000MW.The government plans to set up an additional capacity of 100,000MW by March 2017.Surprisingly, Russia's Power Machines, involved in a protracted contractual dispute with NTPC over the supply of turbines for the 1,980MW Sipat project in Chhattisgarh, has shown interest in the supercritical turbine offer.L&T, Bhel and joint ventures of Alstom SA and Bharat Forge Ltd, and Toshiba Corp. of Japan and JSW Group are the other bidders."Even we were surprised by the Power Machines bid," said R.S. Sharma, chairman and managing director, NTPC. "The techno-commercial bids have been received and we are evaluating them. We expect to call for price offer in May and award the contracts by July."The lowest bidder for boilers will be given an order for six units. If Bhel is not the lowest bidder, the government will award it the order for the remaining five units, provided it agrees to match the lowest bid.If it does not, the option will be given to others in the order of bid ranking. The same system will be followed for ordering turbines.A Bhel executive confirmed his firm's bids for the single largest power generation equipment contract in India.Questions emailed to Power Machines and L&T remained unanswered at the time of going to the press."The new players may want to see how the bid works out," said Hitul Gutka, analyst at local brokerage India Infoline Ltd. "They are testing the waters."

Youth sets himself ablaze in front of BHEL - unfortunate !!
A youngster set himself ablaze in front of the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) administrative building today night demanding vacancies in the Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) be filled only with locals. The youngster also favoured formation of a separate Telangana in a suicide note left behind.
Pro-Telangana activists have been fighting for the filling of vacancies in the PSU locals only since the past few days.
The 25-year-old youth, S Laxmaiah, hails from Hathi Bee village in Zaheerabad mandal of Medak district. Laxmaiah has been working as a contract labour in a private industry at Patancheru industrial development area.
Laxmaiah has been actively participating in the ongoing struggle by Telangana activists demanding that the vacancies in the BHEL be filled with locals only.
Police recovered a suicide note purportedly written by Laxmaiah in which he stated that he committed suicide for separate Telangana.
“Vacancies in BHEL should be filled with locals only. Separate state of Telangana should be created,'' Laxmaiah wrote in the note, Ramachandrapuram police said. The condition of Laxmaiah, who was shifted to the Gandhi general hospital, is critical.
It may be recalled that pro-Telangana activists have also attacked two persons from Andhra region a few days back for writing the selection test conducted by the BHEL.

Bhel to hire 8000
Bharat Heavy Electricals (Bhel) plans to hire 8,000 employees over the next two years to help it to meet its production targets and requirement of personnel for its foray into nuclear power.
“We are recruiting people at the rate of 4,000 per year. We have done that in the last two years. This year also, we are on track,” chairman and managing director B.P. Rao said.
In the Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2007-12), Bhel had targeted to add 20,000 people, of which over half have already been enrolled. About 12,000 of the company’s workforce will retire in the next two years.
The company has about 48,000 employees.
Bhel manufactures equipment that can generate 10,000 mega watt (mw) electricity and plans to ramp up capacity to 20,000mw by the end of the plan period. Rao said Bhel alone could not be blamed for the delay in supplying equipment to meet the country’s target to generate 78,000mw of power by 2012.
“There are a number of factors that have to be taken into account … absence of casting and forging makers in the country. However, we have geared up to bring new technologies, form joint ventures and employ people to overcome delays.”
Rao said the company would announce the third partner in its proposed joint venture with Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd.

BHEL profit rises 35 pc, but sales growth off mark
Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL), India’s biggest power equipment maker, fell the most in eight months after reporting the slowest sales growth in the year that started April 1.
The shares fell 4.4%, the most since May 20, to Rs 2,292.15 in Mumbai trading. Net income in the three months ended December 31 climbed 35% to Rs 1,070 crore ($233 million) and sales rose 18% to Rs 7,100 crore, the New Delhi-based company said in a statement to the Bombay Stock Exchange on Thursday. “Net sales were below street estimates and that could have been one of the factors for the shares to decline,” Shruti Udeshi, an analyst with Finquest Securities Pvt, said from Mumbai. “The company hasn’t changed its sales target for the full year and we believe it can make up for the slower sales in the fourth quarter.”
The stock has gained 70% in the past year, trailing the 94% increase in the benchmark Sensitive Index. Rival Larsen & Toubro, India’s biggest engineering company, fell the most in more than six months after the company on Thursday reported its first sales decline in seven years and cut its revenue growth target. Bharat Heavy has forecast that sales may gain as much as 25% to more than Rs 33,600 crore in the year ending March. The company reported a 24% sales increase in the second quarter following a 29% growth in the first, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Bharat Heavy Electricals hopes to maintain a fair market share despite the entry of companies like L&T, Toshibha-JSW and Alstom in power plant equipment manufacturing in the country.
“Bhel's product profile includes entire chain of equipment. Our power plants are made in various units and a number of technologies have been implemented by the company. We manufacture not only main product boilers, but also its auxiliaries, turbine and its auxiliaries, generator and control instrumentation systems, among others. So, this gives a lot of depth for the company to maintain its ability to compete in the market,” B Prasada Rao, chairman and managing director of Bhel said.
Bhel also has well-established service network across the country and we can reach any customer within no time. Recent example is Srisailam hydropower station, which was underwater since October 2. The company started attending to that unit from October 6 and all the units have been commissioned in the past six weeks. This was a record. So, this is a kind of service capability, which Bhel has established, he said.
