BHEL commissions country’s first Lignite based 500 MW Thermal Unit

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has successfully commissioned the first Lignite based 500 MW thermal unit of the 2×500 MW Neyveli New Thermal Power Project in Tamil Nadu.

Significantly, this is the country’s first lignite-fired 500 MW power plant. Also, it is the highest rating pulverised lignite-fired thermal unit commissioned in the country so far. The plant is based on Once-Through and Tower Type Boiler design, which has been adopted for the first time in the country for a lignite-based thermal unit.

Located in Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu, the project is owned by NLC India Limited (NLCIL). The second unit of the project is also in an advanced stage of commissioning

BHEL has established its engineering prowess in the past through successful delivery of higher rated units of 600 MW, 660 MW, 700 MW and 800 MW thermal sets with a high degree of indigenization. BHEL’s strength of an installed base of over 1,85,000 MW of power plant equipment globally, coupled with its vast experience with Indian coal and conditions makes it an ideal choice of utilities in the country
