New Delhi: State-owned Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has bagged a major contract from Tata Power Company for the supply of equipment and services for its 250-MW Thermal Power Station (TPS) in Trombay.

Won through competitive bidding, this is BHEL's first order where the boiler would be designed to suit firing of imported coal, an official statement said Monday. Not disclosing the value of the contract, BHEL stated it would involve design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection, testing and commissioning of the main plant package for Unit-8 of Trombay TPS in Maharashtra.
