Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has received an order for two sets of supercritical-pressure coal-fired boiler and steam turbine/generator from Jaiprakash Power Ventures Limited (JPVL) of India. The equipment will be delivered for the power generation plant Units 1 and 2, at 660 megawatts (MW) each, to be constructed by JPVL in Nigrie, in Madhya Pradesh state. Delivery of both sets is slated for the fiscal year ending March 2012.

According to MHI’s press release, supercritical-pressure coal-fired power generation is more fuel-efficient and friendlier to the environment and reduces the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Specifically, MHI will supply core boiler components to LMBPL, and LMBPL will undertake boiler assembly for delivery to JPVL. For the STG sets, MHI and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will manufacture and supply core components to LMTGPL, and LMTGPL will undertake assembly and delivery of the sets to L&T.
