Alstom India Ltd has said that its thermal services business has obtained a contract worth nearly Rs 344.5 crore (€53 million) for the renovation of NTPC’s gas turbines at its 657-MW Jhanor Gandhar Gas Power Station stage-1 project at Bharuch district in Gujarat.
The contract has been awarded to Alstom (Switzerland) Ltd and Alstom India. Alstom India’s share from the contract would be about Rs 22.6 crore (€3.50 million), the company said in a communication to the stock exchanges.
Alstom had originally supplied turbines to the project. The contract involved supply and installation and commissioning of the turbine parts.
While the components would be produced at Alstom’s global manufacturing facilities, in India the services would be provided by Alstom India. The project is scheduled to be commissioned over a period of three years.
The gas turbines at NTPC’s Jhanor Gandhar gas-fired power plant have been in operation for over 15 years and would operate for another 15 years with the same output after replacement of the parts, Alstom said in a communication to the stock exchanges.
