BHEL surpasses power capacity addition target by 19 per cent

BHEL chairman and managing director BP Rao said, "BHEL has commissioned 8,230 MW of utility sets against the target of 6,914 MW for 2014-15. The company has also made major contributions to another 1,600 MW by commissioning two boilers of 800 MW each during the year. Besides, sets with a cumulative of 2,000 MW have been synchronised and are ready for capacity addition." "In the same period, BHEL also commissioned 1,392 MW industrial sets and 319 MW of overseas projects, taking the overall capacity addition and synchronisation to 11,941 MW, during the year", Rao added. With this, BHEL has achieved a major landmark of an installed capacity exceeding 155 GW, including 132 GW of domestic utility sets. This has propelled the power equipment maker into the elite club of international manufacturers who have supplied power generating equipment worth more than 150 GW. more at: http://businesstoday.intoday.in/story/bhel-surpasses-capacity-addition-target-set-by-government/1/220075.html
