Amid demand from domestic industry for duty barriers against power equipment imports from China, the Planning Commission has said plants set up with Chinese gear have shown better performance than those using items supplied by state-run Bhel.
The panel's report card on the power sector's performance so far in the 2007-12 Plan period and the strategy for 2011-12 also raises concerns over Bhel's management capacity in setting up new plants. It also flags delayed supply of equipment by the company as one of the impediments to increase the pace of generation capacity addition this fiscal.
"Bhel has added new manufacturing capacity but has poor management capacity in setting up new power plants. There has been serious delay in plants where Bhel has supplied T&G (turbine & generator) or boilers. Performance of new power plants based on Chinese equipment is better," the report card says.
