NTPC bids for Saudi project

National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), India's largest power producer, is bidding for consultancy and operation and maintenance (O&M) projects in countries like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman.

"We have bid for an O&M project for Arabian Bemco Contracting Company and for a consultancy project for Saudi Electric Company. However, we are not looking at power plants abroad, unless it is part of a government-to-government deal requiring cross business transactions," said an executive.
