State-run power equipment maker BHEL today said it has commissioned a 250 MW unit at the upcoming Bongaigaon thermal power station in Assam. “BHEL is executing the main plant package contract for setting up three coal-fired units of 250 MW each at Bongaigaon TPS of NTPC. Significantly, this is the highest rating coal-based power plant in the North-East region,” BHEL said in a statement. The first unit of the power plant was commissioned earlier by BHEL and is presently operational, while the third and final unit is in advanced stage of commissioning, the statement said.

NEW DELHI: Power equipment maker Bhel today commenced commercial operations of its first 800 MW unit, supercritical thermal plant.

BHEL’s Q3 numbers had slightly better-than-expected execution but order inflow and backlog continued to belie weakness. Raw material (RM) to sales at 64.6% remains higher than our FY19e estimate of ~59%. Order backlog of R940 bn is inadequate to drive revenues much ahead of CSe of ~R330 bn in FY18e. >20% of order book is not likely to start near-term. Another ~20% (Yadadri) is still expecting clearances. Total executable book is lower as we expect that R210 bn of projects may not get cleared for execution near-term.
