Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited has won three major orders in quick succession, for setting up Solar Photovoltaic Power Plants totalling to 135 MW, on Engineering, Procurement and Construction basis, in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Cumulatively valued at INR 520 Crore, the orders have been secured from Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Ltd, Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Ltd and Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd. The order received from MAHAGENCO envisages setting up a 50 MW SPV plant at Kaudgaon in Osmanabad in Maharashtra.

Notably, BHEL is also associated with Maharashtra’s renewable energy ventures with its SPV modules being installed in the solarisation of agricultural feeders. The GSECL order envisages setting up a 75 MW SPV plant at Dhuvaran in Anand in the state of Gujarat.

Significantly, the order from GNFC for a 10 MW SPV Plant has reinforced BHEL’s contribution of 205 MW of green energy in Gujarat, out of which 130 MW is in Gujarat’s Solar park at Charanka.
