NTPC-Bhel JV in talks with US-based firm for tech tie-up

NTPC Bhel Power Projects Pvt. Ltd (NBPPL), an equal joint venture between state-run companies NTPC Ltd and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (Bhel), is in talks with US-based Dearborn Mid-West Conveyor Co. (DMW) for a technology tie-up for ash handling and coal handling plants, said an official in the department of heavy industry.

Questions emailed to Dearborn remained answered but NTPC and Bhel executives confirmed the development.

The executives, and the department official did not want to be identified.

“We are talking to many people. This company can be one of them. However, nothing has been decided,” said C.P. Singh, chairman and managing director of NBPPL.

Dearborn is a full-service design, engineering, integration and installation company for the power, automotive and industrial markets.

An NBPPL team was in the US in December to hold discussions with potential technology providers.
