Tata Power Company, which is developing India’s first 4,000 mw ultra mega power project (UMPP) in Mundra, today signed contracts reportedly worth $1 billion with Korea’s Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Company for supply of super-critical boilers and development of ancillary civic structures.
The order, which includes five units of 800 mw each, comes about three weeks after the company formally took over the reins of the project in Gujarat, which is based on imported coal.
While the company has 64-69 months under the contract to commission the first unit, it expects to advance the schedules “ahead of the bid stipulation”. This means that the first unit would be commissioned within the 11th Plan period itself (2007-2012).
Tata Power bagged the Rs 16,000 crore Mundra project against competition from the likes of Sterlite, Adani, Essar, Reliance Energy and L&T by committing to supply power at the the lowest rate of Rs 2.26 a unit (a levelised rate for 25 years).
