Economic Times cited the government as saying that state run BHEL is executing a INR 3,395 crore order in Uttar Pradesh for UP Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam.
Mr Praful Patel minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises in a written reply in Lok Sabha said that "BHEL is presently executing an order of Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam for two 500 units of Anpara thermal power station located in Sonebhadra district valued at INR 3,395 crore."
Mr Patel said that "The scope of work for BHEL includes design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of Boiler, Turbine and Generator Package along with associated auxiliaries, some balance of plant and civil works."
However, he said that the order excludes building switchyard, water system and coal handling plant.
BHEL has also received the following orders of Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam for Renovation & Modernisation of Obra thermal power station in the state.
Mr Patel earlier informed the Parliament that BHEL is facing some difficulties on account of the delay of new and under construction power projects.
He added that his Ministry is also developing a 10 year Mission Plan for the development of domestic electrical industry in general.
