The National Capital Thermal Power Project (NCTPP) Stage-II, set up by with main equipment supplied by Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) at Dadri in Uttar Pradesh, was dedicated to the nation by Sonia Gandhi, Hon`ble Chairperson, United Progressive Alliance.

The 980 MW thermal power project comprising two BHEL-built (Q,N,C,F)* units of 490 MW each, has been running satisfactorily, since commercial operation. Significantly, these are the first of their kind indigenous units, which have been designed for operating at a higher reheat steam temperature of 565 degree Celsius.

These new state-of-the-art machines with a better Heat Rate lead to a direct reduction of coal consumption to the tune of 12,000 tons per annum per unit. The units also comprise advanced control, instrumentation and monitoring system.

BHEL has earlier supplied and commissioned the main plant package comprising Boilers and Steam Turbine Generators for the 4x210 MW Stage-I of NCTPP, Dadri and was also associated with NTPC`s 817 MW Combined Cycle Power Project at the same location.
