Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) announced that it commissioned another 270 MW coal based thermal power plant in Maharashtra.

The unit was commissioned at RattanIndia Power (formerly Indiabulls Power) upcoming thermal power project located at village Nandgaonpeth in Amravati district of Maharashtra. This is the third 270 MW unit commissioned by BHEL in Phase-1 of the project. The project is being executed in two phases, each of 1,350 MW.

Notably, this in-house engineered 270 MW rating TG set establishes the engineering prowess of BHEL. The 210/250 MW sets of this rating class, supplied earlier by BHEL, today form the backbone of the Indian power sector and have been performing much above the national average as well as international benchmarks. BHEL has so far contracted 247 sets of this rating class including 31 of 270 MW rating.

Shares of the company declined Rs 4.10, or 1.44%, to trade at Rs 281 at the BSE (12.43 pm, Tuesday).
