Alstom-Bhel to supply turbines to NPCIL

Global power equipment major Alstom will tie up with Bhel to supply turbines for Nuclear Power Corporation's (NPCIL) 700-mw pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR) based nuclear power plants. A tripartite joint venture (JV) agreement between the French company, Bhel and NPCIL will be signed soon, a senior executive of Alstom Power said.

NPCIL is setting up 700-mw PHWR based nuclear power plants at various places including Kakrapar in Gujarat and Rawatbhata in Rajasthan.

While NPCIL has prepared design for 700-mw nuclear reactors, the design for turbine generators of this size is not available in the country. Given that, NPCIL invited expressions of interest (EoI) from technology suppliers for the turbine generators. Alstom submitted its offer in response to the EoI.
