Integrated mining-cum-power generation company Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) is facing production problem because of the hitch in the boiler provided by power equipment major Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL), complained a top NLC official.
‘BHEL has failed in its delivery schedules. It is the monopoly India. As a public sector unit (PSU), we have to support BHEL (another PSU). Further we have to go by the lowest bidder in awarding equipment contracts and not by their adherence to delivery schedules and other parameters,’ chairman and managing director A.R. Ansari told reporters here Friday.
According to him, NLC’s power units in Rajasthan are not generating power as there is a design failure in BHEL’s boilers.
‘We had told BHEL that their boiler should be capable of handling lignite with an ash content ranging between eight to 30 percent. BHEL initially agreed and later was not able to meet the expectation. There is a design failure in their boiler,’ Ansari claimed.
BHEL had supplied the 2×125 MW Circulating Fluidised Bed Combustion (CFBC) boilers to NLC for its power project in Rajasthan.
