Central power utility National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) will float tenders worth Rs 21,000 crore next week, seeking the supply of energy-efficient supercritical equipment for 11 power plants.
A senior official said that the company is ready with documents for the bidding process that is set to commence next week. He, however, said the date for the issue of tenders for international competitive bidding has not been fixed.
The cabinet committee on infrastructure approved the issue of tenders, comprising nine units of NTPC and two units of Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), on August 27. Separate tenders will be floated for boiler and turbine generators for 11 proposed supercritical units totaling 7,260 megawatts (mw).

Only companies that can supply indigenously manufactured equipment are eligible to participate in the bidding process. With the clause, three consortia between Bhel-Alstom, Larsen & Toubro-Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and GB Engineering-Ansaldo qualify for bidding for the bulk tenders.
Larsen & Toubro-Mitsubishi is also eligible for the supplying of steam turbine generators to NTPC and DVC. Besides, Bhel-Siemens, Bharat Forge-Alstom and Toshiba-JSW are expected to participate in the bidding process for the supply of turbine-generator packages.
