A company press release said the orders have been placed by Bharathiya Rail Bijlee Company (BRBCL).

Slated for synchronisation in the Eleventh Plan the units will add 24 million units of power everyday to the grid on commissioning.

While Bhel, Tiruchirapalli, will manufacture steam generators with electrostatic precipitators, the auxiliaries and others will be made available from the Ranipet unit, the release said.
