Tata Projects (TPL) has been awarded India’s largest balance of plant (BoP) contract in the power sector by the Andhra Pradesh Power Development Company Limited (APPDCL) for their 2x800mw super-critical coal fired Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Plant at Nellatur village near Krishnapatnam in Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh. The Rs2,780 crore (approximately) engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) job involves the basic and detailed design, engineering, manufacture, procurement, supply, construction, erection, testing and commissioning of complete BOP systems and equipment.

With this 1600mw added to their order book, TPL continues to maintain its leadership position in the list of EPC contracting companies executing BOP jobs in the thermal power plant sector in the country.
