Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd (JPVL), promoted by the $7-billion Jaypee group, has signed a Rs 4,000-crore agreement with Larsen & Toubro Ltd, the engineering and construction major, for supply of equipment for its Nigrie Super Thermal Power Project in Madhya Pradesh.
Under the agreement, L&T will supply two units of 660 Mw each for the power plant.
While the order for boilers for the plant has been given to L&T-MHI Boilers Pvt Ltd (LMBPL), the order for turbine and generators has been given to L&T which will source the equipment from L&T-MHI Turbine Generators Pvt Ltd (LMTGPL). Both LMBPL and LMTGPL are joint ventures between L&T and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan.
This is the second order bagged by L&T in the supercritical segment in India after it won the order for supplying a 1,600 Mw turbine generator from the Andhra Pradesh Power Development Corporation earlier.
The company plans to set up around 4,000 Mw of domestic power equipment manufacturing capacity by 2010.
