BHEL delays critical milestones at Farakka STPP-III

NTPC`s 500 MW Farakka-III super thermal power station is seemingly bearing the brunt of BHEL's lethargy. The STPP, which has already missed deadlines for various milestones, is unlikely to go on steam even by its latest expected commissioning date of February next year.  8This latest round of deferment has also been caused by BHEL`s laxity in finalizing an erection agency. As a result, boiler light up, completion of steam blowing, putting turbine generator on barring gear and turbine rolling have all been pushed back. 8Notwithstanding these delays, however, NTPC still expects to complete the project under its originally estimated budget of Rs 2570.44 crore. 8The Farakka thermal power plant, with a cumulative envisaged capacity of 2100 MW, is being executed via three stages in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal. Coal and water for the plant are being sourced from the Rajmahal Coal Fields and Farakka Feeder Canal respectively.
