State-run Bharat Heavy Electricals on Friday said it has bagged a Rs4,015-crore order from Hindalco Industries for the supply of boilers, turbines and generators for its 900 MW captive power plant in Orissa.

According to the company' statement, it secured the order from Hindalco Industries for the supply and erection of main plant package (boilers, turbines, generators) at its upcoming captive plant (6x150MW) at Aditya Aluminium in Sambalpur district of Orissa.

The order follows a similar order Hindalco recently placed for the main plant package for its captive power plant (6x150 MW) at Mahan Aluminium in Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh, the company said in a statement.

The equipment for both projects will be manufactured at BHEL's facilities in Trichy, Hyderabad, Bhopal, Bangalore and Ranipet.

The erection at Singrauli would be executed by BHEL's power sector, western region, Nagpur while the Sambalpur project erection would be undertaken by its power sector in the southern region.

BHEL won the order amidst stiff competition from domestic and international companies including Chinese majors.
