Chinese equipment stalls Durgapur Power plant; seeks BHEL help

Facing problems with Chinese power equipments, state owned Durgapur Projects Limited is believed to have approached BHEL for carrying out repair and recommission the 300 MW thermal power plant in West Bengal.

Chinese firm Dong Fang had supplied turbine to DPL, which has become inoperable due to some technical snag since nearly last three months, sources in the know said.

When contacted, Li Qi, CEO of Dong Fang (India), said, "Two months ago we were informed by DPL that some snag has developed in the equipment... We completed this project one year ago and transferred it to DPL."

Meanwhile, BHEL sources confirmed that DPL has contacted them to put the unit back on stream. In view of the Chinese technology, BHEL will have to resort to reverse engineering to gauge the extent of the problem before offering solutions.
