With the commissioning of the third unit of the 3 x 660 MW Prayagraj Super Thermal Power Project (PSTPP), Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has successfully executed the 1980 MW coal-fired supercritical thermal power project in Uttar Pradesh.

BHEL’s scope of work in the project included design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of the Boiler and Turbine-Generator (BTG) package. The key equipment for the project has been manufactured by BHEL at its Haridwar, Trichy, Hyderabad, Ranipet and Bengaluru works, while the construction of the plant was undertaken by the company's Power Sector - Northern Region.
