This is the first 9FA advanced class Gas turbine, indigenously manufactured in collaboration with GE, USA. The unique features of this advanced Gas Turbine are use of HSD (High Speed Diesel) as fuel in a DLN dual fuel burner. The entire control system was designed and configured by BHEL indigenously.
