Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has bagged a Rs 2,900 crore contract for supply of equipment for Aravali Power Company's upcoming Jhajjar super thermal power project in Haryana.

The order from Aravali Power Company (APCPL), a joint venture of NTPC, Indraprastha Power Generation and Haryana Power Generation, has been won under an international competitive bidding process, according to a release issued by BHEL today.
