Mumbai : L&T Energy CarbonLite Solutions has secured a Limited Notice to
Proceed (LNTP) from NTPC Ltd for the main plant package of the 2x800 MW Lara
Stage-III thermal power plant in Chhattisgarh. The Notice to Proceed will be
granted once the project secures environmental clearance and the LNTP period is
completed.
The project
entails the construction of two state-of-the-art 800 MW ultra-supercritical
generating units. L&T's scope encompasses the design, engineering,
manufacturing, supply, erection, testing and commissioning of Boilers, Steam
Turbines, Generators, Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs), Air Cooled Condensers
(ACC) and their auxiliaries, along with associated mechanical, electrical, control
& instrumentation and civil works.
The tasks will be
executed on an EPC basis using ultra-supercritical technology, which offers
higher efficiency and lowers specific emissions. Once commissioned, the plant will
add 1,600 MW of reliable baseload generation capacity to India’s grid, helping
meet the country’s growing electricity demand driven by industrial expansion,
urbanisation and infrastructure development.
Commenting on the development, Mr T
Madhava Das, Whole-time Director, Sr. Executive Vice President &
Head - Energy Hydrocarbon Division, L&T, said: “This award is our third ultra-supercritical
project from NTPC in the past two years, reflects the trust that India’s
largest power utility continues to place in our engineering, manufacturing and
project execution capabilities. Over the years, we have developed deep
expertise in delivering large-scale projects that are critical to the nation’s
energy infrastructure. We remain committed to executing this project with the
highest standards of quality, safety, and operational excellence”.
