The equipment supply contracts from Adani Power represent a major expansion of India's power generation project pipeline.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has secured contracts from Adani Power Limited for four thermal power projects, with a combined planned generating capacity of 6,400 MW.
Each project will comprise two 800 MW generating units, bringing the total to eight units across the four developments.
According to BHEL's regulatory disclosure, each contract is valued between ₹5,000 crore and ₹7,000 crore, excluding GST. This places the combined order value between ₹20,000 crore and ₹28,000 crore.
Equipment Supply and Engineering Scope
BHEL's responsibilities include supplying boilers, turbines, generators and associated auxiliary equipment, along with agreed project services.
These systems form the core of a thermal power station, where steam generated in the boiler drives a turbine connected to an electricity generator.
Their installation requires coordination between mechanical, electrical, structural and civil engineering disciplines, particularly around equipment foundations, heavy-component installation, piping and electrical systems.
The contracts cover equipment supply and specified services rather than an independently confirmed award for complete plant construction.
Supporting Power Generation Capacity
The new orders add to BHEL's portfolio of large-scale power-generation equipment projects in India.
For the engineering and construction industry, developments of this scale create substantial requirements for industrial infrastructure, equipment integration and multidisciplinary project coordination.
BHEL has confirmed the contracts, but the announcement does not specify the individual project locations or commissioning dates. Execution will follow Adani Power's project requirements.
